Meditação

The Two Ways

1 How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!  *

2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,

and he meditates on it day and night.  *

8 This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth;  * you are to meditate on  * it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.  *

97 How I love your instruction!  *

It is my meditation all day long.  *

98 Your command makes me wiser than my enemies,  *

for it is always with me.

99 I have more insight than all my teachers

because your decrees are my meditation.  *

100 I understand more than the elders  *

because I obey your precepts.  *

15 I will meditate on your precepts  *

and think about your ways.  *

16 I will delight in your statutes;  *

I will not forget your word.

47 I delight in your commands,

which I love.  *

48 I will lift up my hands  * to your commands,

which I love,

and will meditate on your statutes.  *

147 I rise before dawn and cry out for help;  *

I put my hope in your word.

148 I am awake through each watch of the night

to meditate on your promise.  *

14 May the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable to you,  *

Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.  *

3 My mouth speaks wisdom;

my heart’s meditation brings understanding.  *

11 I will remember the  Lord’s works;

yes, I will remember your ancient wonders.  *

12 I will reflect on all you have done

and meditate on your actions.  *

5 I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all you have done;

I reflect on the work of your hands.  *

9 God, within your temple,

we contemplate your faithful love.  *

33 I will sing to the  Lord all my life;

I will sing praise to my God while I live.  *

34 May my meditation be pleasing to him;

I will rejoice in the  Lord.  *
