Psalm 119:1-8

Common English Bible

119 Those whose way is blameless—
    who walk in the Lord’s Instruction—are truly happy!
² Those who guard God’s laws are truly happy!
    They seek God with all their hearts.
³ They don’t even do anything wrong!
    They walk in God’s ways.
⁴ God, you have ordered that your decrees
    should be kept most carefully.
⁵ How I wish my ways were strong
    when it comes to keeping your statutes!
⁶ Then I wouldn’t be ashamed
    when I examine all your commandments.
⁷ I will give thanks to you with a heart that does right
    as I learn your righteous rules.
⁸ I will keep your statutes.
    Please don’t leave me all alone!
