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
