Who walk in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
And that seek him with the whole heart.

To keep thy precepts diligently.
O that my ways were directed
To keep thy statutes!

When I have respect unto all thy commandments.

When I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

That I might not sin against thee.
Blessed art thou, O Lord:
Teach me thy statutes.
