PSALM 119 (2) L.M.

9 How can the young keep their life pure?
By doing what your word demands!
10 I seek you with my heart and soul;
Let me not stray from your commands.

11 Your word I’ve hidden in my heart
To keep me from offending you.
12 Praise be to you, O LORD my God;
Teach me your statutes firm and true.

13 Each law proceeding from your mouth
I gladly with my lips have told.
14 I love to follow your commands,
As others love to count their gold.

15 I meditate upon your ways
And on your precepts I reflect.
16 I take delight in your decrees;
Your word I never will neglect.
