Psalm 119:1-24

21st Century King James Version

119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

² Blessed are they that keep His testimonies and that seek Him with the whole heart.

³ They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.

⁴ Thou hast commanded us to keep Thy precepts diligently;

⁵ O that my ways were directed to keep Thy statutes!

⁶ Then shall I not be ashamed when I have respect unto all Thy commandments.

⁷ I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart when I shall have learned Thy righteous judgments.

⁸ I will keep Thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly!

⁹ How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.

¹⁰ With my whole heart have I sought Thee; O let me not wander from Thy commandments!

¹¹ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.

¹² Blessed art Thou, O Lord; 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 riches.

¹⁵ I will meditate on Thy precepts and attend unto Thy ways.

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

¹⁷ Deal bountifully with Thy servant, that I may live and keep Thy word.

¹⁸ Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.

¹⁹ I am a stranger on the earth; hide not Thy commandments from me.

²⁰ My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath for Thy judgments at all times.

²¹ Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, that err from Thy commandments.

²² Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept Thy testimonies.

²³ Princes also sat and spoke against me, but Thy servant meditated on Thy statutes.

²⁴ Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
