Psalm 119:1-16

 1 Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
       who walk according to the law of the LORD.

 2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes
       and seek him with all their heart.

 3 They do nothing wrong;
       they walk in his ways.

 4 You have laid down precepts
       that are to be fully obeyed.

 5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast
       in obeying your decrees!

 6 Then I would not be put to shame
       when I consider all your commands.

 7 I will praise you with an upright heart
       as I learn your righteous laws.

 8 I will obey your decrees;
       do not utterly forsake me.

 9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
       By living according to your word.

10 I seek you with all my heart;
       do not let me stray from your commands.

11 I have hidden your word in my heart
       that I might not sin against you.

12 Praise be to you, O LORD;
       teach me your decrees.

13 With my lips I recount
       all the laws that come from your mouth.

14 I rejoice in following your statutes
       as one rejoices in great riches.

15 I meditate on your precepts
       and consider your ways.

16 I delight in your decrees;
       I will not neglect your word.
