Ps 119:1-8

1Blessed those whose way is blameless,

who walk by the law of the LORD.^a

2Blessed those who keep his testimonies,

who seek him with all their heart.^b

3They do no wrong;

they walk in his ways.

4You have given them the command

to observe your precepts with care.

5May my ways be firm

in the observance of your statutes!

6Then I will not be ashamed

to ponder all your commandments.

7I will praise you with sincere heart

as I study your righteous judgments.

8I will observe your statutes;

do not leave me all alone.
