Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord!
2
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!
3
They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways.
4
You have commanded us To keep Your precepts diligently.
5
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.
8
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.
16
I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
17
Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word.
18
Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.
19
I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.
20
My soul breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times.
21
You rebuke the proud--the cursed, Who stray from Your commandments.
22
Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies.
