Psalms 119:1-16

1Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Torah of Adonai.

2Happy are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with a whole heart,

3who also do no injustice, but walk in His ways.

4You have commanded that Your precepts be kept diligently.

5Oh that my ways were steadfast to observe Your decrees!

6Then I would not be ashamed, when I consider all Your mitzvot.

7I will praise You with an upright heart as I learn Your righteous judgments.

8I will observe Your statutes. Never abandon me utterly!

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.

10With my whole heart have I sought You —let me not stray from Your mitzvot.

11I have treasured Your word in my heart, so I might not sin against You.

12Blessed are You, Adonai. Teach me Your statutes.

13With my lips I rehearse all the rulings of Your mouth.

14I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies above all wealth.

15I will meditate on Your precepts, and regard Your ways.

16I will delight in Your decrees. I will never forget Your word.
