✧1Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. ✧2Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart. ✧3They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. ✧4Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently. ✧5O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! ✧6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. ✧7I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. ✧8I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. ✧9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.

✧18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
✧19I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
✧20My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy judgments at all times.
✧21Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

✧23Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
✧24Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors.
✧25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
✧26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

✧40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
✧41Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.
✧42So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
✧43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
✧44So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
✧45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

✧54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
