April 29: Psalm 119

How blessed are those whose way is blameless,
Who walk in the law of Yahweh.
How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
They seek Him with all their heart.
They also do not work unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways.
You have commanded us,
To keep Your precepts diligently.
Oh may my ways be established
To keep Your statutes!
Then I shall not be ashamed
When I look upon all Your commandments.
I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
I shall keep Your statutes;
Do not forsake me utterly!

How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to Your word.
With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me stray from Your commandments.
Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.
Blessed are You, O Yahweh;
Teach me Your statutes.

The earth, O Yahweh, is full of Your lovingkindness;
Teach me Your statutes.

I have inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
I have inclined my heart to do Your statutes
Forever, to the end.

You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word… My flesh quakes for dread of You, And I am afraid of Your judgments.

The sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting.

Give me understanding according to Your word.
Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.
Let my lips pour forth praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.
Let my tongue answer with Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteous.
