Lasting longer than the earth itself,
Your Word, Yahweh,
Goes on and on and on,
As foundational as the universe.
Leaving out no one
Ever,
Your faithfulness and truth are all-encompassing,
As solid as the earth beneath our feet.
Loyal soldiers following orders,
Earth and sky stand guard over creation.
Yes, all things are your servants.
Love for you torah-way kept me alive
When I was fading fast.
Without it, I’d be dead right now.
Life is what I got
From sticking to your rules.
Why would I forget even one of them?
Listening to you life lessons
Is my preoccupation.
I am all yours.
So, save me!
Laying out traps,
The bent-hearted want to take me down.
But I pay close attention to everything you say.
Limits confine every human endeavor,
But your commandments are comprehensive,
Universal.
Psalm 119 (L is for Lamedh)
