Verses 105-136
 
“The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Psalm 119:130, (NASV)
 
May Your Word be a Lamp unto my children’s feet and a Light unto their paths so they may follow Your righteous laws. Preserve their lives oh Lord, for they have endured sufferings. I pray their lips will offer You heartfelt praises which are acceptable unto You. Teach them Your law, oh God, and do not let them forget Your truths, straying not from Your precepts. Father God, let Your statues be the joy of their hearts and their heritage as they keep Your decrees. Make them a lover of Your law, oh God, and be my children’s refuge and shield. How I pray they will place their hope in Your Word so You may sustain them according to Your promises. Lord, help them keep Your commandments while You uphold them and keep their hopes from being dashed. With fear and trembling, may they stand before You.

Do not leave my children to their oppressors, oh God, but ensure their safety. Help them to do what is right and just, for their eyes fail as they look for Your righteous promise and salvation. Oh Lord, teach them Your decrees so they may be blessed with discernment to understand Your statues. Father God, act now for their enemies break and disregard Your law. But, let my children love Your decrees more than gold so that they despise what is evil.

May my children love Your laws for they are wonderful, giving life and understanding to the simple. After Your commands, let them hunger and long with love and obedience. Oh Lord, I pray You will direct their footsteps according to Your Word so no sin possesses a foothold. Redeem them, I plead. Let them obey and follow Your precepts, being taught Your Word. Shine Your face upon my children, oh God, and shower my children with every good blessing.

Verses 81-104
 
“How I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.” Psalm 119:97, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, make my children’s hearts faint with longing after Your salvation. Help them place their hope in Your Word. When their eyes fail and they are left wondering, comfort them. Do not wait long to punish their enemies for snares are set to trap and persecute my children. Do not let them forsake Your precepts but show them Your trustworthiness and help them when they are in need. OH God, preserve their lives according to Your love while they obey the statues of Your mouth.
    
Oh God, help my children’s faith stand firm just as Your Word stands firm in the heavens. Likewise, I pray Your faithfulness continues with them from generation to generation just as Your laws endure forever. Oh Lord, make Your laws their delight so they do not perish but are preserved by Your precepts. May they seek and ponder Your statues, loving Your law and meditating upon it all day long. Oh Lord, help them to glean wisdom, insight, and understanding from Your commandments as they meditate, obey, and store Your statues in their hearts. Keep their feet from paths of evil and let them stay true to Your laws, finding your Words sweeter than honey. Teach them, oh God, so they may gain understanding from Your precepts and despise the way of the wicked.

Verses 57-80
 
“Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments.” Psalm 119:66, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, be my children’s portion. Let them seek You with all their hearts with vows to keep Your laws. Be gracious to them and cause them to turn their steps to Your statues. Grant them a ready heart of obedience so that they will hasten and not delay following You. In times of persecution, comfort them with the promise of Your Word. Oh Lord, fill their hearts with thanksgiving for Your righteous laws and great love which fills the earth.

Lord, I plead with You to be good to my children.  Teach them knowledge and good judgement, I pray. Let them believe in Your precepts and calling so they do not wander astray. In the same way, teach them Your decrees so they may learn of Your goodness for You are good. When evildoers smear them with lies, let them hold tight to Your promises so through their affliction they truly learn Your decrees. Make Your law more precious to them then gold or silver, oh God.

​You, oh God, who have formed my children, give understanding to them so they may learn Your commands and place their hope in Your word. When they are afflicted, help them remember the comfort of Your unfailing love and how Your laws are righteous. Be compassionate to my children, oh God, while You put their enemies to shame. Make Your laws a delight to them and help them meditate upon them. Give them a blameless heart, oh God, and surround them with friends who follow Your statues.

Verses 33-56
 
“Give me understanding, so that I may comply with Your law and keep it with all my heart.” Psalm 119:34, (NASV)
 
Help my children walk according to Your commands, oh Lord.  Let them know the true freedom Your laws bring. Yet teach them well how to follow Your decrees so they might keep them. Help them to understand and be guided in the goodness and wisdom of Your ways so their hearts may delight in Your statues. I pray You will turn them away from worthless things and selfish gain so they may be preserved to live out Your glory. Fulfill Your promises, oh God, and take away their disgrace. Make them long for Your precepts for Your laws are good.

Shower Your unfailing love upon my children, o God. Help them trust in Your Word and put their hope in Your laws. Let Your truth ring out from their lips while they seek to obey You always. Bless them with the freedom which comes through kipping Your precepts as You foster within them a love of Your commands. In love to You, may they lift up their hands for the joy of Your law and meditate daily upon Your decrees.

May the remembrances of Your Word give my children hope for your promises preserve life. When the arrogant mock them, let them not turn from Your law but instead find comfort in Your decrees as their songs. In the dark of night, let my children remember You, oh God. Instill it upon my children’s hearts to obey and follow Your precepts.

Verses 17-32

"Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your Law." Psalm 119:18, (NASV)

Lord, I plead You will do good to my children. In return may they obey Your Word all the days of their lives. Open their eyes and reveal to them the wonders of Your law, hiding not Your truths from them but spurning a deep hunger for You. Keep them faithful. Do not let them stray from Your commandments so Your scorn and contempt do not rebuke them. Even when they endure slander for their faith, let Your Word still be a delight to them. Oh Lord, help them to meditate on Your Word and turn to You for counsel and wisdom.

When my children are laid low to the ground, preserve their lives. Oh God, lead them to repentance so You might answer them. Teach Your decrees to my children, oh Lord, granting them understanding and revealing Your wonders. When they are weary, strengthen them. Through Your law, keep them from deceit and shower them with grace. Set their hearts on You and help them hold fast to Your statues, choosing to abide by Your truths.
