As I learn your righteous regulations,
    I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
    Please don’t give up on me! ~ Psalm 119:7-8 New Living Translation (NLT)

Rules to follow,
always there
these twenty-five hundred years
or so…not that I knew
they were there, the
“righteous regulations,”
but finding them now
I can buy into the commitment.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
Please don’t give up on me!
Not my will but Yours be done.
