Psalm 119:10-16
“I am single-minded in my
pursuit of you; don’t let me miss
the road signs you’ve posted.
I’ve banked your promises in the
vault of my heart so I won’t sin
myself bankrupt. Be
blessed, God; train me in your
ways of wise living.
I’ll transfer to my lips all the
counsel that comes from your
mouth; I delight far more in what
you tell me about living than in
gathering a pile of riches. I
ponder every morsel of wisdom
from you. I attentively watch
how you’ve done it. I relish
everything you’ve told me of life,
I won’t forget a word of it.”

out to save them. Otherwise both of you will drown.
