ALEPH.

1Blessed are they that are perfect in the way,

Who walk in the law of Jehovah.

2Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,

That seek him with the whole heart.

3Yea, they do no unrighteousness;

They walk in his ways.

4Thou hast commanded us thy precepts,

That we should observe them diligently.

5Oh that my ways were established

To observe thy statutes!

6Then shall I not be put to shame,

When I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart,

When I learn thy righteous judgments.

8I will observe thy statutes:

Oh forsake me not utterly.

BETH.

9Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way?

By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

10With my whole heart have I sought thee:

Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

11Thy word have I laid up in my heart,

That I might not sin against thee.

12Blessed art thou, O Jehovah:

Teach me thy statutes.

13With my lips have I declared

All the ordinances of thy mouth.

14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

15I will meditate on thy precepts,

And have respect unto thy ways.

16I will delight myself in thy statutes:

I will not forget thy word.
