1 Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, 1 who walk according to the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes 2 and seek him with all their heart.
3 They do nothing wrong; 3 they walk in his ways.
4 You have laid down precepts 4 that are to be fully obeyed.
5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast 5 in obeying your decrees!
6 Then I would not be put to shame 6 when I consider all your commands.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart 7 as I learn your righteous laws.
8 I will obey your decrees; 8 do not utterly forsake me.

9 How can a young man keep his way pure? 9 By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart; 10 do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart 11 that I might not sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, O Lord; 12 teach me your decrees.
13 With my lips I recount 13 all the laws that come from your mouth.
14 I rejoice in following your statutes 14 as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts 15 and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees; 16 I will not neglect your word.
