Ancient Landmark Words

49-56 Remember what you said to me, your servant—
I hang on to these words for dear life! These words hold me up in bad times;
yes, your promises rejuvenate me. The insolent ridicule me without mercy,
but I don't budge from your revelation. I watch for your ancient landmark words, and know I'm on the right track. But when I see the wicked ignore your directions, I'm beside myself with anger. I set your instructions to music and sing them as I walk this pilgrim way. I meditate on your name all night, God, treasuring your revelation, O God. Still, I walk through a rain of derision because I live by your Word and counsel.

Psalm 119 (The Message)
