No wonder that the psalmist finds delight in God's Word and we do too!

Father, deepen our love and delight in Your word.  Help us to know and understand Your complete will for us individually through the Word that You have graciously provided for us.  Forgive us for the times we have read the Scriptures and neglected to obey it, to delight in it, or to be in awe of the truth that You have spoken... Draw us nearer, nearer, precious Lord, to Your side. We lift our eyes to seek Your face even now, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. amen.
