154 Argue my case; take my side!
... Psalm 120
Key Verse
“Your word is a
lamp to guide my
feet and a light for my path.”
—PSALM 119:105
Protect my life as you promised.
155 The wicked are far from rescue,
for they do not bother with your decrees.
156 Lord, how great is your mercy;
let me be revived by following your
regulations.
157 Many persecute and trouble me,
yet I have not swerved from your laws.
158 Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,
because they care nothing for your word.
159 See how I love your commandments, Lord.
Give back my life because of your
unfailing love.
160 The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever.
Let Iitne!

Read PSALM
119:105 out loud several times. That’ll help
the verse stick to the roof of your brain!
Then try this. Hide your eyes, and have
a friend hide a “treasure” in the room. The
treasure can be a toy or a snack. Make the
room as dark as possible. Now try to find
the treasure in the dark.
Kind of hard, huh?
Try again, this time using a flashlight.

161 Powerful people harass me without cause,
but my heart trembles only at your word.
162 I rejoice in your word
like one who discovers a great treasure.
163 I hate and abhor all falsehood,
but I love your instructions.
164 I will praise you seven times a day
because all your regulations are just.
165 Those who love your instructions have
great peace
and do not stumble.
166 I long for your rescue, Lord,
so I have obeyed your commands.
167 I have obeyed your laws,
for I love them very much.
168 Yes, I obey your commandments and laws
because you know everything I do.

But when you study the Bible, you can
learn what God’s Word says about the
choices you have to make. It’s like having
a light in the darkness.
169 O Lord, listen to my cry;
give me the discerning mind you
promised.
170 Listen to my prayer;
rescue me as you promised.
171 Let praise flow from my lips,
for you have taught me your decrees.
172 Let my tongue sing about your word,
for all your commands are right.
173 Give me a helping hand,
for I have chosen to follow your
commandments.
174 O Lord, I have longed for your rescue,
and your instructions are my delight.
175 Let me live so I can praise you,
and may your regulations help me.
176 I have wandered away like a lost sheep;
come and find me,
for I have not forgotten your commands.

PSALM
120
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
I took my troubles to the Lord;
I cried out to him, and he answered
my prayer.
2 Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
and from all deceitful people.
3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?
How will he increase your punishment?
4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows
and burned with glowing coals.
