Psalm 119:25-32(Sundown, June 9)
My soul clings to the dust. Revive me according to Your word!
I told of my ways and You answered me. Teach me Your statutes. Help me discern the way of Your precepts, so I may meditate on Your wonders. My soul weeps with grief. Make me stand firm with Your word. Turn me away from the deceitful way, and be gracious to me with Your Torah. I have chosen the way of faithfulness. I have set my heart on Your judgments.
I cling to Your testimonies. Adonai, do not put me to shame!
I run the course of Your mitzvot, for You open wide my heart.

Psalm 119:33-40(Sundown, June 10)
Teach me the way of Your decrees, Adonai, and I will follow them to the end. Give me understanding, that I may keep Your Torah and observe it with all my heart. Help me walk in the path of Your mitzvot—for I delight in it. Turn my heart to Your testimonies and not to dishonest gain. Turn my eyes away from gazing at vanity but revive me in Your ways. Fulfill Your word to Your servant, which leads to reverence for You. Make the disgrace I dread pass away, for Your judgments are good.
Behold, I long for Your precepts. Revive me by Your righteousness.

Psalm 119:41-48(Sundown, June 11)
May Your lovingkindnesses come to me, Adonai— Your salvation according to Your word—so I may answer the one taunting me, for I trust in Your word. Never snatch out of my mouth a word of truth, for I hope in Your judgments. So I may always keep Your Torah, forever and ever, and walk about in freedom. For I have sought Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and never be ashamed. I delight in Your mitzvot, which I love. I reach out my hands for Your mitzvot, which I love, and meditate on Your decrees.
