Psalm 119

The Glories of God’s Law

¹ Happy are those whose way is blameless,
   who walk in the law of the Lord.
² Happy are those who keep his decrees,
   who seek him with their whole heart,
³ who also do no wrong,
   but walk in his ways.
⁴ You have commanded your precepts
   to be kept diligently.
⁵ O that my ways may be steadfast
   in keeping your statutes!
⁶ Then I shall not be put to shame,
   having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
⁷ I will praise you with an upright heart,
   when I learn your righteous ordinances.
⁸ I will observe your statutes;
   do not utterly forsake me.

⁹ How can young people keep their way pure?
   By guarding it according to your word.
¹⁰ With my whole heart I seek you;
   do not let me stray from your commandments.
¹¹ I treasure your word in my heart,
   so that I may not sin against you.
¹² Blessed are you, O Lord;
   teach me your statutes.
¹³ With my lips I declare
   all the ordinances of your mouth.
¹⁴ I delight in the way of your decrees
   as much as in all riches.
¹⁵ I will meditate on your precepts,
   and fix my eyes on your ways.
¹⁶ I will delight in your statutes;
   I will not forget your word.
