Psalms 119:8-20

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.

17Do good to Your servant that I may live and keep Your word.

18Open my eyes, so I may behold wonders from Your Torah.

19I am a temporary dweller on earth— do not hide Your mitzvot from me.

20My soul is crushed with longing for Your judgments at all times.
