119 [Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,

³ Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.

⁴ Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,

⁵ O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

⁶ Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.

⁷ I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.

⁸ Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
