119 ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.

Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;

Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.

Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.

Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

12 Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.

13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all wealth.

15 I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.

16 I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.

17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

18 Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.

19 I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.

20 My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments.

22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.

24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors.
