How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it,
according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes!
With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth. In the way of your
testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight
in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments
from me!
My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times. You rebuke the
insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments. Take away from me
scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.
When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your
statutes!
Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your
wondrous works.
I cling to your testimonies, O Lord; let me not be put to
shame!
I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!
