Psalms 119:1-11 ▼

1 ALEPH Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.

2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.

3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.

4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.

5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!

6 Then I wouldn’t be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.

7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.

8 I will observe your statutes. Don’t utterly forsake me.

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

10 With my whole heart I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments.

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