Psalms 119:1-16

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

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.11I have 20treasured Your word in my heart, So that I may not sin against You.12Blessed are You, 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 will 31not forget Your word.
