Open my eyes that I may see

Psalm 119:17-24
III (Ghimel)

A meditation on God’s law

Loving God means keeping his commandments (1 John 5:3).

Bless your servant and I shall live *
and obey your word.
Open my eyes that I may see *
the wonders of your law.

I am a pilgrim on the earth; *
show me your commands.
My soul is ever consumed *
as I long for your decrees.

You threaten the proud, the accursed, *
who turn from your commands.
Relieve me from scorn and contempt *
for I do your will.

Though princes sit plotting against me *
I ponder on your rulings.
Your will is my delight; *
your statutes are my counselors.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
