A runner's prayer

Psalms for the 24th Day
116 117 118 119 ד ג ב א

ד
Down in the dust I lie prostrate:
revive me as Your Word has guaranteed.
I admitted my behavior,
You answered me,
now teach me Your statutes.
Explain to me how to keep Your precepts,
that I may meditate on Your marvels.
I am sleepless with grief:
raise me as Your Word has guaranteed.
Turn me from the path of delusion,
grant me the grace of Your Law.
I have chosen the way of fidelity,
I have set my heart on Your rulings.
I cling to Your decrees:
Yahweh, do not disappoint me.
I run the way of Your commandments,
since You have set me free.

Psalm 119:25-32 Jerusalem Bible
