Psalms 119:8-20

8I will keep your statutes. Do not completely abandon me! ב (Bet)

9How can a young person maintain a pure life? By guarding it according to your instructions!

10With all my heart I seek you. Do not allow me to stray from your commands!

11In my heart I store up your words, so I might not sin against you.

12You deserve praise, O Lord! Teach me your statutes!

13With my lips I proclaim all the regulations you have revealed.

14I rejoice in the lifestyle prescribed by your rules as if they were riches of all kinds.

15I will meditate on your precepts and focus on your behavior.

16I find delight in your statutes; I do not forget your instructions. ג (Gimel)

17Be kind to your servant! Then I will live and keep your instructions.

18Open my eyes so I can truly see the marvelous things in your law!

19I am like a foreigner in this land. Do not hide your commands from me!

20I desperately long to know your regulations at all times.
