Adapted from Psalm 119:73-80 Y Yodh (NASB)
(Tune: O I'd Rather...lollipop")
Your hands made me
and fashioned me;
Giving me understanding,
that I may learn Your commandments.
May those who fear You
see me
and be glad,
‘cause I wait
for Your word.
I know, O LORD,
Your laws are righteousness,
and that in faithfulness You have
afflicted me.
O may Your
lovingkindness
comfort me
According to Your word to me,
May Your compassion come to me
that I may live, for Your law is
my delight.
May the boastful
be ashamed,
for their lie
But I shall think on Your precepts.
May those who fear You turn to me,
Even those who know Your testimonies.
May my heart
be blameless
in Your law,
So I will
Not be ashamed.
Sing the Scriptures
Prayerfully singing God's word to simple songs.

Adapted from Psalm 119:57-64 Heth (NIV)
(Tune: “Yankee Doodle Dandy”)
You are my portion, O LORD;
I have promised to obey
I seek Your face with all my heart;
be gracious as Your promised.
I have considered my ways
turned my steps to Your truth
I will hasten and not delay
to obey Your commands.
Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
I’ll not forget Your law.
At midnight I rise to give You
thanks for Your righteous laws.
I’m a friend with those who fear You,
we follow Your precepts.
The earth is filled with Your love,
O LORD; teach me your decrees.

(Tune: Daylight Come and Me Wanna Go Home)
Remember the word
to Your servant, You made me hope.
This is my comfort
in my affliction, Your word revived me.
The arrogant utterly deride me,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.
I remember Your laws of old,
O LORD, And comfort myself.
Burning indignation
has seized me because of the wicked,
Who forsake Your law.
Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.
O LORD, I remember Your name in the night,
And keep Your law. This has become mine,
That I observe Your precepts.

And I will meditate
on Your statutes.

(Tune: "This Land is Your Land")
Teach me, O LORD, the way
of Your statutes,
And I shall keep the way
unto the end.
Give understanding,
so I may follow
Your law to keep with all my heart.
Make me walk in the path
of Your commandments,

Incline my heart to
Your testimonies
And not to dishonest gain.
Turn away my eyes
From viewing vanity,
And revive me

Turn away reproach
which I dread,
For Your laws
are good.
Behold, I desire
Your precepts;
Revive me through Your righteousness.

O LORD,
Do not put me
to shame!
I shall run the way
of Your law,
For You will
enlarge my heart.
