Do not let me be put to shame

Psalm 19:1-48
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who keep his status and seek him with all their heart.
Fast from the busy-- 1)Hidden our word in my heart 2) rejoice in following your statutes, 3) with my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth 4) Meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
Preserve my life according to your word. Preserve my life in your righteousness.
I have set my heart o your laws. I have put my hope in your laws I have sought our your precepts.
Pray to the Lord, give me understanding and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
Why?
There are 22 eight-verse sections. Each section begin with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and each verse within the section begins with the same letter.
Within this stylized pattern the psalmist makes a series of individual, though not isolated or disconnected, statements about the 'law' and the individual-interspersed with frequent prayers.
Here give us the way how to read the word of the Lord, study and pray to the Lord.
How?
Meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. O Load, give me understanding and I will keep your law, do not let me be put to shame.(v31)
