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.

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.
