Psalms 119:1-8

1Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord.

2Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.

3They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths.

4You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.

5Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!

6Then I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands.

7As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should!

8I will obey your decrees. Please don’t give up on me!
