¹Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah. ²Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart. ³Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways. ⁴Thou hast commandedus thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently. ⁵Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes! ⁶Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments. ⁷I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments. ⁸I will observe thy statutes: Oh forsake me not utterly. ב BETH. ⁹Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word. ¹⁰With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments. ¹¹Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee. ¹²Blessed art thou, O Jehovah: Teach me thy statutes. ¹³With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth. ¹⁴I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches. ¹⁵I will meditate on thy precepts, And have respect unto thy ways. ¹⁶I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. ג GIMEL. ¹⁷Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live; So will I observe thy word. ¹⁸Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law. ¹⁹I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me. ²⁰My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times. ²¹Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments. ²²Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies. ²³Princes also sat and talked against me; But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes. ²⁴Thy testimonies also are my delight Andmy counsellors. ד DALETH. ²⁵My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word. ²⁶I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me: Teach me thy statutes. ²⁷Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works. ²⁸My soul melteth for heaviness: Strengthen thou me according unto thy word. ²⁹Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously. ³⁰I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set before me. ³¹I cleave unto thy testimonies: O Jehovah, put me not to shame. ³²I will run the way of thy commandments, When thou shalt enlarge my heart. ה HE. ³³Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes;
