Psalms 119:1-16

1How blessed are those whose way is 1 2blameless, Who 3walk in the law of the Lord.2How blessed are those who 4observe His testimonies, Who 5seek Him 6with all their heart.3They also 7do no unrighteousness; They walk in His ways.4You have 8 9ordained Your precepts, 10That we should keep them diligently.5Oh that my 11ways may be established To 12keep Your statutes!6Then I 13shall not be ashamed When I look 14upon all Your commandments.7I shall 15give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.8I shall keep Your statutes; Do not 16forsake me utterly!

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By 17keeping it according to Your word.10With 18all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me 19wander from Your commandments.11Your word I have 20treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.12Blessed are You, O Lord; 21Teach me Your statutes.13With my lips I have 22told of All the 23ordinances of Your mouth.14I have 24rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, 25As much as in all riches.15I will 26meditate on Your precepts And 27regard 28Your ways.16I shall 29 30delight in Your statutes; I shall 31not forget Your word.
