ALEPH

Blessed are those who are upright in their way and walk in the Law of the LORD.

Blessed are those who keep His Testimonies and seek Him with their whole heart.

Surely, they work no iniquity, but walk in His ways.

You have commanded to keep Your Precepts diligently.

Oh that my ways were directed to keep Your Statutes!

Then I would not be confounded, with respect to all Your Commandments.

I will praise You with an upright heart, when I shall learn the Judgments of Your righteousness.

I will keep Your Statutes. Do not forsake me utterly.

BETH

How shall a young man correct his way? By living according to Your Word.

10 With my whole heart I have sought You. Do not let me wander from Your Commandments.

11 I have treasured Your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

12 Blessed are You, O LORD. Teach me Your Statutes.

13 With my lips I have declared all the Judgments of Your Mouth.

14 I have had as much delight in the way of Your Testimonies, as in all riches.

15 I will meditate on Your Precepts and consider Your ways.

16 I will delight in Your Statutes, and I will not forget Your Word.

GIMEL

17 Be beneficial to Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word.

18 Open my eyes, that I may see the wonders of Your Law.

19 I am a stranger upon Earth. Do not hide Your Commandments from me.

20 My heart breaks for the desire of Your Judgments always.

21 You have rebuked the proud. Cursed are those who stray from Your Commandments.

22 Remove from me shame and contempt, for I have kept Your Testimonies.

23 Princes also sat and spoke against me, but Your servant meditated on Your Statutes.

24 Also Your Testimonies are my delight and my counselors.

DALETH

25 My soul clings to the dust, quicken me according to Your Word.

26 I have declared my ways, and You heard me. Teach me Your Statutes.

27 Make me to understand the way of Your Precepts, and I will meditate on Your wondrous works.

28 My soul melts for heaviness, raise me up according to Your Word.

29 Take from me the way of lying and grant me graciously Your Law.

30 I have chosen the way of truth and Your Judgments have I laid before me.

31 I have clung to Your Testimonies, O LORD, do not confound me.

32 I will run the way of Your Commandments, when You shall enlarge my heart.
