Psalm 119

Verses 1-16

א Aleph

1 

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,

    who walk according to the law of the Lord.

2 

Blessed are those who keep his statutes

    and seek him with all their heart –

3 

they do no wrong

    but follow 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.

ב Beth

9 

How can a young person stay on the path of purity?

    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, 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.
