By guarding it according to your word.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?

O let me not wander from thy commandments.

That I might not sin against thee.

Teach me thy statutes.

All the judgments of thy mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

And have respect unto thy ways.

I will delight myself in thy statutes:

I will not forget thy word.

GIMEL.

And keep thy word.

Open thou mine eyes,

That I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

I am a stranger in the earth:

Hide not thy commandments from me.

My soul breaketh for the longing

That it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
