Psalms 119:8-20

8I shall keep Your statutes; Do not 1forsake me utterly!

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By 2keeping it according to Your word.10With 3all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me 4wander from Your commandments.11Your word I have 5treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.12Blessed are You, O Lord; 6Teach me Your statutes.13With my lips I have 7told of All the 8ordinances of Your mouth.14I have 9rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, 10As much as in all riches.15I will 11meditate on Your precepts And 12regard 13Your ways.16I shall 14 15delight in Your statutes; I shall 16not forget Your word.

17 17Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word.18Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law.19I am a 18stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.20My soul is crushed 19 20with longing After Your ordinances at all times.
