From Psalm 119
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!
You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, O LORD;
teach me your statutes!
Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
Make me understand the way of your precepts,
and I will meditate on your wondrous works.
Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
and observe it with my whole heart.
Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise;
then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me,
for I trust in your word.
Your statutes have been my songs
in the house of my sojourning.
The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love;
teach me your statutes!
You are good and do good;
teach me your statutes.
I know, O LORD, that your rules are righteous,
and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
In your steadfast love give me life,
that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
Forever, O LORD, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word.
Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;
I hate every false way.
Make your face shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
Your testimonies are righteous forever;
give me understanding that I may live.
Long have I known from your testimonies
that you have founded them forever.
The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble.
My lips will pour forth praise,
for you teach me your statutes.
