Psalm 119:1-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

119 How blessed are those whose way is ^[a](A)blameless,
Who ^(B)walk in the law of the Lord.
² How blessed are those who ^(C)observe His testimonies,
Who ^(D)seek Him ^(E)with all their heart.
³ They also ^(F)do no unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways.
⁴ You have ^[b](G)ordained Your precepts,
^[c]That we should keep them diligently.
⁵ Oh that my ^(H)ways may be established
To ^(I)keep Your statutes!
⁶ Then I ^(J)shall not be ashamed
When I look ^[d]upon all Your commandments.
⁷ I shall ^(K)give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
⁸ I shall keep Your statutes;
Do not ^(L)forsake me utterly!

⁹ How can a young man keep his way pure?
By ^(M)keeping it according to Your word.
¹⁰ With ^(N)all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me ^(O)wander from Your commandments.
¹¹ Your word I have ^(P)treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.
¹² Blessed are You, O Lord;
^(Q)Teach me Your statutes.
¹³ With my lips I have ^(R)told of
All the ^(S)ordinances of Your mouth.
¹⁴ I have ^(T)rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
^[e]As much as in all riches.
¹⁵ I will ^(U)meditate on Your precepts
And ^[f]regard ^(V)Your ways.
¹⁶ I shall ^[g](W)delight in Your statutes;
I shall ^(X)not forget Your word.
