Psalm 119:1–8

DELIGHT IN GOD’S WORD

א Aleph

1 HowA happy are those whose way is blameless,b

who walk according to the Lord’s instruction!c

2 Happy are those who keep his decreesd

and seek him with all their heart.e

3 They do nothing wrong;f

they walk in his ways.

4 You have commanded that your preceptsg

be diligently kept.

5 If only my ways were committed

to keeping your statutes!h

6 Then I would not be ashamedi

when I think about all your commands.

7 I will praise you with an upright heartj

when I learn your righteous judgments.

8 I will keep your statutes;

never abandon me.k
