" Lord, I want to live according to your Word—“your ways,” “your truth” (verses 4–5)—rather than by what will make me popular and powerful. Give me the desire and integrity to live like this. And because this will make me vulnerable, protect me from those who would take the opportunity to harm me. Amen. "

― Timothy J. Keller , The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms
