Kaph
81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation,
but I have put my hope in your word.
82 My eyes fail, looking for your promise;
I say, "When will you comfort me?"
83 Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,
I do not forget your decrees.
84 How long must your servant wait?
When will you punish my persecutors?
85 The arrogant dig pitfalls for me,
contrary to your law.
86 All your commands are trustworthy;
help me, for men persecute me without cause.
87 They almost wiped me from the earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 Preserve my life according to your love,
and I will obey the statutes of your mouth.

89 Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.
Those simple 12 words are something I repeat over and over on any given day. Sometimes I repeat them out loud in the middle of the grocery stores and sometimes I scream those words at the top of my lungs while locked in my car. When there is nothing else, His word stands firm forever, and that, it something I can count on.
90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
you established the earth, and it endures.
91 Your laws endure to this day,
for all things serve you.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life.
94 Save me, for I am yours;
I have sought out your precepts.
95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
but I will ponder your statutes.
96 To all perfection I see a limit;
but your commands are boundless.
I love that He is boundless. I love that while the wicked wait to destroy me, I can ponder His word and He will answer me. I just love the fact that He is on my side and will never leave.

97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are ever with me.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
for I meditate on your statutes.
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
for I obey your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
so that I might obey your word.
102 I have not departed from your laws,
for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.
I want His word to be inseparable from me. I want my life to be consumed by His word. I want to know His word, I want it to roll of my tongue like my phone number does. I want to be captivated by His word. I want to understand it, love it more than any thing else and I want hear from Him when I open it.
