PSALM 119 (1) L.M.

1 Blessèd are those of blameless ways,
Who live according to God’s word.
2 Blessèd are those who keep his laws,
Who with their whole heart seek the LORD.

3 They keep themselves from doing wrong
By walking in his perfect ways.
4 You have established laws for us
That are to be obeyed always.

5 O that my ways were steadfast, LORD,
In making your decrees my aim!
6 So, when I think on your commands,
I would not feel disgrace or shame.

7 I’ll praise you with an upright heart,
As your just laws are learned by me.
8 All your decrees I will obey;
Do not forsake me utterly.
