Psalm 119 – Teth

As I mentioned before, my husband set out to find a song for each Psalm as close to the ESV rendering as possible (which he managed to do!). One of his great finds was a 3 volume collection of songs by Exodus Music who masterfully put Psalm 119 word for word (ESV) to music. This one is one of my favourites. Do check them out on Youtube and streaming platforms as I’m sure you’ll be blessed by all the songs in all 3 volumes; enjoy!

You have dealt well with your servant,
    O Lord, according to your word.
Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
    for I believe in your commandments.
 Before I was afflicted I went astray,
    but now I keep your word.
You are good and do good;
    teach me your statutes.
The insolent smear me with lies,
    but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
their heart is unfeeling like fat,
    but I delight in your law.
It is good for me that I was afflicted,
    that I might learn your statutes.
The law of your mouth is better to me
    than thousands of gold and silver pieces
