How can (C)a young man keep his way pure?
    By guarding it according to your word.
10 (D)With my whole heart I seek you;
    let me not (E)wander from your commandments!
11 I have (F)stored up your word in my heart,
    that I might not sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
    (G)teach me your statutes!
13 With my lips I (H)declare
    all the rules[b] of your mouth.
14 In the way of your testimonies I (I)delight
    as much as in all (J)riches.
15 I will (K)meditate on your precepts
    and fix my eyes on your (L)ways.
16 I will (M)delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.
