PSALMS 119:1-16

Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

Aleph119:1

Blessed are those whose way is blameless,

who walk in the law of the Lord! 2

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,

who seek him with their whole heart, 3

who also do no wrong,

but walk in his ways! 4

You have commanded your precepts

to be kept diligently. 5

Oh that my ways may be steadfast

in keeping your statutes! 6

Then I shall not be put to shame,

having my eyes fixed on all your commandments. 7

I will praise you with an upright heart,

when I learn your righteous rules. 8

I will keep your statutes;

do not utterly forsake me! Beth9

How can a young man keep his way pure?

By guarding it according to your word. 10

With my whole heart I seek you;

let me not wander from your commandments! 11

I have stored up your word in my heart,

that I might not sin against you. 12

Blessed are you, O Lord;

teach me your statutes! 13

With my lips I declare

all the rules of your mouth. 14

In the way of your testimonies I delight

as much as in all riches. 15

I will meditate on your precepts

and fix my eyes on your ways. 16

I will delight in your statutes;

I will not forget your word.
