QOPH 
145 I cry out with my whole heart; 
Hear me, O LORD! 
I will keep Your statutes. 
146 I cry out to You; 
Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies. 
147 I rise before the dawning of the morning, 
And cry for help; 
I hope in Your word. 
148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, 
That I may meditate on Your word. 
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; 
O LORD, revive me according to Your justice. 
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness; 
They are far from Your law. 
151 You are near, O LORD, 
And all Your commandments are truth. 
152 Concerning Your testimonies, 
I have known of old that You have founded them forever.

SAMEK 
113 I hate the double-minded, 
But I love Your law. 
114 You are my hiding place and my shield; 
I hope in Your word. 
 
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, 
For I will keep the commandments of my God! 
116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; 
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. 
 
117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe, 
And I shall observe Your statutes continually. 
118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, 
For their deceit is falsehood. 
 
119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; 
Therefore I love Your testimonies. 
120 My flesh trembles for fear of You, 
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

137 Righteous are You, O Lord, 
And upright are Your judgments. 
138 Your testimonies, which You have commanded, 
Are righteous and very faithful.

Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

Therefore Your servant loves it. 
 
141 I am small and despised, 
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.

Yet Your commandments are my delights. 
144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; 
Give me understanding, and I shall live.

Therefore my soul keeps them.

It gives understanding to the simple.

As Your custom is toward those who love Your name. 
 
133 Direct my steps by Your word, 
And let no iniquity have dominion over me. 
134 Redeem me from the oppression of man,

And teach me Your statutes.

Because men do not keep Your law.

For they are the rejoicing of my heart. 
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes 
Forever, to the very end.

Scripture Song: Psalm 119:105-112 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path

1 Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. 3 Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. 5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.

97 Oh, how I love Your law! 
It is my meditation all the day. 
98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; 
For they are ever with me. 
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, 
For Your testimonies are my meditation. 
100 I understand more than the ancients, 
Because I keep Your precepts. 
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, 
That I may keep Your word. 
102 I have not departed from Your judgments, 
For You Yourself have taught me. 
103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, 
Sweeter than honey to my mouth! 
104 Through Your precepts I get understanding; 
Therefore I hate every false way.

The first 3 verses of Psalm 35. I wrote this in 2008, and I've always really liked it. 
 
When I write music to Psalms, I know it's finished when it "resonates" with me - and even though I've written more music to Psalm 35, it doesn't quite feel done yet, so I will probably re-write it some day. But I do love these first 3 verses. Enjoy! 
 
1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with those who strive with me; 
​​Fight against those who fight against me. 
2 ​​Take hold of shield and buckler, 
​​And stand up for my help. 
3 ​​Also draw out the spear, 
​​And stop those who pursue me. 
​​Say to my soul, 
​​“I am your salvation.”

Saying, "When will You comfort me?" 
83 For I have become like a wineskin in smoke 
Yet I do not forget Your statutes 
84 How many are the days of Your servant? 
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? 
85 The proud have dug pits for me 
Which is not according to Your law

They persecute me wrongfully 
Help me!

But I did not forsake Your precepts

This song is particularly special to me. I actually wrote the music 4 years before I became a Christian, and attempted countless times to put words to it, but was unsuccessful. Then after I had my encounter with Jesus, I began writing music to the Scripture and found that this little guitar part I wrote fit perfectly with these lyrics. 
 
To me, it's just a testament to God's love and faithfulness, that long before I was mindful of the things of God, He was still at work in my heart, drawing me to Him.

LYRICS - WORD FOR WORD FROM THE NKJV

57 You are my portion, O Lord
I have said that I would keep Your words
58 I entreated Your favor with my whole heart
Be merciful to me according to Your word
59 I thought about my ways
And turned my feet to Your testimonies
60 I made haste, and did not delay
To keep Your commandments
61 The cords of the wicked have bound me
But I have not forgotten Your law
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous judgments
63 I am a companion of all who fear You
And of those who keep Your precepts
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy
Teach me Your statutes

Scripture Song: Psalm 119:57-64 NKJV - Heth - You are my portion, O Lord

God promises to give you your heart's desire. But does that mean you're going to win the lottery? I would suggest that your heart's desire is something deeper and is ultimately connected with your purpose. 
 
This is part of God's provision for the Day of Trouble. If you can keep focused on your purpose, you will find the strength to rise above the present difficulties.

Your Purpose & Your Heart's Desire - Psalm 20:4 (Devo)

Psalm 20 is about God's provision for the "Day of Trouble" 
Verse 3 talks about the "offering" and "burnt sacrifice". 
But how does a burnt sacrifice help you in the Day of Trouble. 
 
I actually believe this verse is the pinnacle of this Psalm, as it points to the most significant event in the history or future of the world.
