You Are My Portion Blues | Psalm 119 Heth – Midnight Praise & Mercy Fire

📜“You Are My Portion Blues” is a raw, reverent cry from the midnight soul — a blues anthem born straight out of Psalm 119:57–64 (Heth). With clean hands and a burning heart, this song captures the passion of one who has turned back, set his feet on the path, and risen at midnight to praise Yahweh.

Psalm 119 is the Bible’s longest chapter and a Hebrew acrostic — each stanza built around a single letter. Heth (ח) is the letter of covenant and alignment. This section marks a pivotal choice: when a heart fully chooses God over compromise, mercy over bitterness, and obedience over delay. It’s a midnight vow in a world full of cords, chains, and wandering.

This blues track leans deep into the tension and beauty of that moment — when the psalmist says, “You are my portion, Yahweh. I promised to obey.” The lyrics echo the ancient, sacred fire of David’s honesty and the blues tradition’s longing for redemption, justice, and truth.

📖 Psalm 119:57–64 (WEB):

57 Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
58 I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.
59 I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.
60 I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.
61 The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won’t forget your law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.
63 I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.
64 The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

🎶 Lyrics: Psalm 119 Heth

(Intro)
Mm... You are my portion, Lord... yeah...
I said, You are my portion... mm-hmm...

[Verse 1]
You are my portion, Yahweh,
I said I promised to obey.
I turned my feet to Your paths, Lord,
I won’t wander, I won’t stray.
I thought about my ways, yeah,
And turned to You today.

[Verse 2]
I hurried and didn’t delay—
To obey Your command.
Though wicked cords wrapped around me,
I won’t let go of Your hand.
I rise at midnight just to praise You,
For Your judgments still stand.

[Chorus – driving and reverent]
You are my portion, oh Lord of grace
I keep Your words in this broken place
I sing Your law in the middle of night
’Cause Your mercy makes wrong things right
Yes, I’m a friend to all who fear You
To those who walk in Your truth and light

[Verse 3]
This whole earth is filled with mercy,
Just open your eyes and see.
Yahweh, teach me Your statutes—
And set this prisoner free.
Your word’s the chain breaker,
Your law’s the key for me.

[Bridge – build up with gospel backing harmony]
I remember when I wandered far,
But Your Word pulled me back again.
Now my soul is wrapped in Your precepts,
Like a melody without end...

[Outro – soft, like a benediction]
Yeah, You are my portion...
Oh Lord, teach me... once again...
’Cause Your mercy fills the earth... Amen.
(Amen Lord Yes Lord Amen!)
