This is the forth section of psalm 119.
In the original Hebrew each stanza of this section begins with the letter daleth ד.
John L. Mackay preached a sermon on this section at Falkirk Free.

There is a sermon by John L. Mackay on this passage here:

PSALM 119 (4) L.M.

25 My soul is laid low in the dust;
Give life according to your word.
26 I showed my ways, you answered me;
Teach me your just decrees, O LORD.

27 Instruct me in your precepts’ way;
I’ll think upon your works at length.
28 My soul with sorrow is worn out;
According to your word give strength.

29 Be gracious to me through your law;
From lying ways keep me apart.
30 I chose to take the way of truth;
I keep your laws with all my heart.

31 I cling to your decrees, O LORD;
Do not let shame take hold of me.
32 I run the way of your commands
Because my heart you have set free.
