Psalm 119

Blessed are those that are undefiled in the way  *

and walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies *

and seek him with their whole heart.

For they who do no wickedness *

walk in his ways.

Thou hast charged *

that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.

O that my ways were made so direct *

that I might keep thy statutes!

So shall I not be confounded *

while I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart *

when I shall have learned the judgements of thy righteousness.

I will keep thy ceremonies *

O forsake me not utterly.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way  *

even by ruling himself after thy word.

With my whole heart have I sought thee *

O let me not go wrong out of thy commandments.

Thy words have I hid within my heart *

that I should not sin against thee.

Blessed art thou, O Lord *

O teach me thy statutes.

With my lips have I been telling *

of all the judgements of thy mouth.

I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies *

as in all manner of riches.

I will talk of thy commandments *

and have respect unto thy ways.

My delight shall be in thy statutes *

and I will not forget thy word.

O do well unto thy servant  *

that I may live, and keep thy word.

Open thou mine eyes *

that I may see the wondrous things of thy law.

I am a stranger upon earth *

O hide not thy commandments from me.

My soul breaketh out for the very fervent desire *

that it hath alway unto thy judgements.

Thou hast rebuked the proud *

and cursed are they that do err from thy commandments.

O turn from me shame and rebuke *

for I have kept thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speak against me *

but thy servant is occupied in thy statutes.

For thy testimonies are my delight *

and my counsellors.

My soul cleaveth to the dust  *

O quicken thou me, according to thy word.

I have acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest me *

O teach me thy statutes.

Make me to understand the way of thy commandments *

and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

My soul melteth away for very heaviness *

comfort thou me according unto thy word.

Take from me the way of lying *

and cause thou me to make much of thy law.

I have chosen the way of truth *

and thy judgements have I laid before me.

I have stuck unto thy testimonies *

O Lord, confound me not.

I will run the way of thy commandments *

when thou hast set my heart at liberty.
