Wednesday's Morning Glory

Good Morning! As we near then end of this week, I will cover two or three stanzas each day. I will not interject my thoughts, as I will turn them into my prayers for that day.
Samekh
"I hate double-minded men, but I love your law.
You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.
Away from me, you evil doers,
that I may keep the commands of my God!
Sustain me according to your promise, and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.
Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
I will always have regard for your decrees.
You reject all who stray from your decrees,
for their deceitfulness is in vain.
All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
therefore I love your statutes.
My flesh trembles in fear of you;
I stand in awe of your laws.

Ayin
I have done what is righteous and just;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
Ensure your servant's well-being;
let not the arrogant oppress me.
My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
looking for your righteous promise.
Deal with your servant according to your love
and teach me your decrees.
I am your servant; give me discernment that I may
understand your statutes.
It is time for you to act, O LORD;
your law is being broken.
Because I love your commands more than gold,
more than pure gold,
and because I consider all your precepts right,
I hate every wrong path."
Psalm 119:113-128
