How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
With my whole heart I have sought you.
Don’t let me wander from your commandments.
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, LORD.
Teach me your statutes.
With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways.
I will delight myself in your statutes.
I will not forget your word.
GIMEL
