How can a young man keep his way pure?

By guarding it according to your word.

With my whole heart I seek you;

let me not wander from your commandments!

I have stored up your word in my heart,

that I might not sin against you.

Blessed are you, O Lord;

teach me your statutes!

With my lips I declare

all the rules of your mouth.

In the way of your testimonies I delight

as much as in all riches.

I will meditate on your precepts

and fix my eyes on your ways.

I will delight in your statutes;

I will not forget your word.

that I might not sin against you.

Praise be to you, Lord;

teach me your decrees.

With my lips I recount

all the laws that come from your mouth.

I rejoice in following your statutes

as one rejoices in great riches.

and consider your ways.

I delight in your decrees;

I will not neglect your word.

How can a young person stay pure?

By obeying your word.

I have tried hard to find you—

don’t let me wander from your commands.

I have hidden your word in my heart,

that I might not sin against you.

I praise you, O Lord;

teach me your decrees.

I have recited aloud

all the regulations you have given us.

I have rejoiced in your laws

as much as in riches.

I will study your commandments

and reflect on your ways.

I will delight in your decrees

and not forget your word.

How can a young man keep his way pure?

By taking heed according to your word.

With my whole heart I have sought you;

do not let me stray from your commands.

In my heart I have hidden your word,

so that I may not sin against you.

Blessed are you, O Yahweh.

Teach me your statutes.

With my lips I have told of

all the ordinances of your mouth.

In the way of your testimonies I have rejoiced

as I would over all riches.

I will meditate on your precepts

and look at your ways.

I will take delight in your statutes;

I will not forget your word.
