Psalms 119:9-18

9How can a young person keep his life pure? ⌞He can do it⌟ by holding on to your word.

10I wholeheartedly searched for you. Do not let me wander away from your commandments.

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

12Thanks be to you, O Lord. Teach me your laws.

13With my lips I have repeated every regulation that ⌞comes⌟ from your mouth.

14I find joy in the way ⌞shown by⌟ your written instructions more than I find joy in all kinds of riches.

15I want to reflect on your guiding principles and study your ways.

16Your laws make me happy. I never forget your word.

17Be kind to me so that I may live and hold on to your word.

18Uncover my eyes so that I may see the miraculous things in your teachings.
