How can a young person stay on the path of purity?(A)
    By living according to your word.(B)
10 I seek you with all my heart;(C)
    do not let me stray from your commands.(D)
11 I have hidden your word in my heart(E)
    that I might not sin(F) against you.
12 Praise be(G) to you, Lord;
    teach me(H) your decrees.(I)
13 With my lips I recount
    all the laws that come from your mouth.(J)
14 I rejoice in following your statutes(K)
    as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts(L)
    and consider your ways.
16 I delight(M) in your decrees;
    I will not neglect your word.
