I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your Word.
Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.
The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words.
Plead my cause and redeem me; give me life according to your promise!
I rejoice in your word like one who finds great spoil.
I long for your salvation, O Lord, and your law is my delight.
I have gone astray like a sheep; seek your servant.
Psalm 119 is really long. These are my favorite verses from the chapter. May we delight in God, as well as his law and his commands. There is a difference between following God begrudgingly and doing it out of joy and in love.
