4
You have laid down precepts1 that are to be fully obeyed.25
Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!36
Then I would not be put to shame4 when I consider all your commands.57
I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.68
I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.7
9
How can a young man keep his way pure?8 By living according to your word.910
I seek you with all my heart;10 do not let me stray from your commands.1111
I have hidden your word in my heart12 that I might not sin13 against you.
12
Praise be14 to you, O LORD; teach me15 your decrees.1613
With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.1714
I rejoice in following your statutes18 as one rejoices in great riches.
