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.


17 Deal bountifully with your servant,
   so that I may live and observe your word.
18 Open my eyes, so that I may behold
   wondrous things out of your law.
19 I live as an alien in the land;
   do not hide your commandments from me.
20 My soul is consumed with longing
   for your ordinances at all times.
21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,
   who wander from your commandments;
22 take away from me their scorn and contempt,
   for I have kept your decrees.
23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,
   your servant will meditate on your statutes.
24 Your decrees are my delight,
   they are my counsellors.
