Oh, that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes!
6
Then I would not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments.
7
I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.

I will keep Your statutes; Oh, do not forsake me utterly!
9
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
10
With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
11
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You!
12
Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes!
13
With my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth.
14
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches.
15
I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.
