1Blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the Law of the Lord. 2Blessed are those who comply with His testimonies, And seek Him with all their heart. 3They also do no injustice; They walk in His ways. 4You have ordained Your precepts, That we are to keep them diligently. 5Oh that my ways may be established To keep Your statutes! 6Then I will not be ashamed When I look at all Your commandments. 7I will give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments. 8I will keep Your statutes; Do not utterly abandon me! 9How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. 10With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments. 11I have treasured Your word in my heart, So that I may not sin against You. 12Blessed are You, Lord; Teach me Your statutes.King James Version

1ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 2Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
