Psalm 119:1–11

ALEPH.

1  Blessed are the ||undefiled in the way,

aWho walk in the law of the Lord.

2  Blessed are they that wkeep his testimonies,

And that bseek him with the whole heart.

3  cThey also do no iniquity:

They walk in his ways.

4  Thou hast commanded us

To keep thy dprecepts diligently.

5  O that my ways ewere directed

To keep thy statutes!

6  Then eeshall I not be ashamed,

When I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7  I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,

When I shall have learned †thy righteous fjudgments.

8  I will keep thy statutes:

O forsake me not utterly.

BETH.

9  gWherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?

By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

10  With my whole heart have I bsought thee:

O let me not hwander from thy commandments.

11  iThy word have I hid in mine heart,

That I might not sin against thee.
