“Shine in 2009” Verse*   ....   Psalm 119  ................  Pastor Willmar

Congregation

¹ Happy are people of integrity,
      who follow the instructions of the Lord.
  ² Happy are those who obey his laws
      and search for him with all their hearts.
 ³ They do not compromise with evil,
      and they walk only in His paths.
  ⁴ You have charged us
      to keep your commandments carefully.
 ⁵ Oh, that my actions would consistently
      reflect your decrees!
  ⁶ Then I will not be ashamed
      when I compare my life with your commands.
 ⁷ As I learn your righteous regulations,
      I will thank you by living as I should!
  ⁸ I will obey your decrees.
      Please don’t give up on me!

¹⁰³ How sweet your words taste to me;
      they are sweeter than honey.
 ¹⁰⁴ Your commandments give me understanding;

  ¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp to guide my feet
      and a light for my path.
