Blessed are those who are undefiled in their ways, and walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies and seek him with their whole heart,

Even those who do no wickedness and perfectly walk in his ways.

You have ordered your precepts that we should diligently keep them.

O that my ways were made so direct that I might keep your statutes!

Then would I not be put to shame while I give heed unto all your commandments.

I will thank you with an upright heart, when I have learned your righteous judgments.

I will keep your statutes; O do not forsake me utterly.

How shall a young man cleanse his way? By ruling himself according to your word.

With my whole heart I have sought you; O let me not go astray from your commandments.

Your words have I hidden within my heart, that I may not sin against you.

Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes.

With my lips have I been telling of all the judgments of your mouth.

I have had greater delight in the way of your testimonies than in all manner of riches.

I will meditate on your commandments and have respect for all your ways.

My delight will be in your statutes, and I will not forget your word.

O do well unto your servant, that I may live, and keep your word.

Open my eyes that I may see the wondrous things of your law.

I am a sojourner on earth; O hide not your commandments from me.

My soul is consumed with the fervent desire that it always has for your judgments.

You have rebuked the proud, and cursed are those who stray from your commandments.

O turn from me shame and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.

Though princes sit and speak against me, yet will your servant meditate on your statutes;

For your testimonies are my delight, and they are my counselors.

My soul cleaves to the dust; O revive me, according to your word

I have acknowledged my ways, and you heard me; O teach me your statutes.

Make me to understand the way of your commandments, and so shall I meditate on your wondrous works.

My soul melts away for heaviness; comfort me according to your word.

Take from me the way of lying, and graciously teach me your law.

I have chosen the way of truth, and your judgments have I set before me.

I hold fast to your testimonies; O Lord, let me not be put to shame.

I will run the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart with understanding.
