Psalm 119:1–16
Alepha
119 Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of Yahweh.
2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies;
they seek him with a whole heart.
they walk in his ways.
4 You have commandedb your precepts,
that we should keep them diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast,
to keep your statutes!
when I look to all your commands.
7 I will give you thanks with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous laws.
do not utterly forsake me.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By taking heed according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I have sought you;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 In my heart I have hidden your word,c
so that I may not sin against you.
Teach me your statutes.
13 With my lips I have told of
all the ordinances of your mouth.
14 In the way of your testimonies I have rejoiced
as I would over all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts
and look atd your ways.
16 I will take delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.
