Psalms 119:8-20

8I will keep your statutes; never abandon me.

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping your word.

10I have sought you with all my heart; don’t let me wander from your commands.

11I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you.

12Lord, may you be blessed; teach me your statutes.

13With my lips I proclaim all the judgments from your mouth.

14I rejoice in the way revealed by your decrees as much as in all riches.

15I will meditate on your precepts and think about your ways.

16I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

17Deal generously with your servant so that I might live; then I will keep your word.

18Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wondrous things from your instruction.

19I am a resident alien on earth; do not hide your commands from me.

20I am continually overcome with longing for your judgments.
