Psalm 119
Aleph
Beati immaculati
1
Blessed are those who are undefiled in their ways, *
and walk in the law of the Lord.
2
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, *
and seek him with their whole heart.
3
Even those who do no wickedness *
and perfectly walk in his ways.
4
You have ordered your precepts *
that we should diligently keep them.
5
O that my ways were made so direct *
that I might keep your statutes!
6
Then would I not be put to shame *
while I give heed unto all your commandments.
7
I will thank you with an upright heart, *
when I have learned your righteous judgments.
8
I will keep your statutes; *
O do not forsake me utterly.
Beth
In quo corrigit?
9
How shall a young man cleanse his way? *
By ruling himself according to your word.
10
With my whole heart I have sought you; *
O let me not go astray from your commandments.
11
Your words have I hidden within my heart, *
that I may not sin against you.
12
Blessed are you, O Lord; *
teach me your statutes.
13
With my lips have I been telling *
of all the judgments of your mouth.
14
I have had greater delight in the way of your testimonies *
than in all manner of riches.
15
I will meditate on your commandments *
and have respect for all your ways.
16
My delight will be in your statutes, *
and I will not forget your word.
