Psalm 119

1  Blessed are those whose way is pure, ♦︎
   who walk in the law of the Lord.
2  Blessed are those who keep his testimonies ♦︎
   and seek him with their whole heart,
3  Those who do no wickedness, ♦︎
   but walk in his ways.
4  You, O Lord, have charged ♦︎
   that we should diligently keep your commandments.
5  O that my ways were made so direct ♦︎
   that I might keep your statutes.
6  Then should I not be put to shame, ♦︎
   because I have regard for all your commandments.
7  I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, ♦︎
   when I have learned your righteous judgements.
8  I will keep your statutes; ♦︎
   O forsake me not utterly.
9  How shall young people cleanse their way ♦︎
   to keep themselves according to your word?
10  With my whole heart have I sought you; ♦︎
   O let me not go astray from your commandments.
11  Your words have I hidden within my heart, ♦︎
   that I should not sin against you.
12  Blessed are you, O Lord; ♦︎
   O teach me your statutes.
13  With my lips have I been telling ♦︎
   of all the judgements of your mouth.
14  I have taken greater delight in the way of your testimonies ♦︎
   than in all manner of riches.
15  I will meditate on your commandments ♦︎
   and contemplate your ways.
16  My delight shall be in your statutes ♦︎
   and I will not forget your word.
17  O do good to your servant that I may live, ♦︎
   and so shall I keep your word.
18  Open my eyes, that I may see ♦︎
   the wonders of your law.
19  I am a stranger upon earth; ♦︎
   hide not your commandments from me.
20  My soul is consumed at all times ♦︎
   with fervent longing for your judgements.
21  You have rebuked the arrogant; ♦︎
   cursed are those who stray from your commandments.
22  Turn from me shame and rebuke, ♦︎
   for I have kept your testimonies.
23  Rulers also sit and speak against me, ♦︎
   but your servant meditates on your statutes.
24  For your testimonies are my delight; ♦︎
   they are my faithful counsellors.
