25 My mouth breathes nothing but the dust,
restore me to vitality and nourish me with your word.
26 I declared your ways, and you answered me;
teach me your statutes.
27 Make me understand the ways of your precepts,
that I may meditate on your wonders.
28 My frame sags from sorrow;
raise me according to your word!
29 Put far from me the way of falsehood,
and through your law show me your favor.
30 The way of truth have I chosen,
your ordinances I consider supreme.
31 I have clung to your precepts;
Yahweh, do not humiliate me!
32 I shall run the way of your commandments,
if you enlarge my understanding.

Times of trouble come to all of us
7 The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
8 Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O LORD,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
9 At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For when the earth experiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Though the wicked is shown favor,
He does not learn righteousness;
He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,
And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD.
