Psalm cXIX.

BLESSED are those who are undefiled in the way and walk in the law of the LORD.

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies and seek him with their whole heart.

For they commit no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Thou hast charged: that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.

O that my ways were so directed: that I might keep thy statutes!

So shall I not be confounded: when I have respect unto all thy command

ments.

I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart when I shall have learned the judgements of thy righteousness.

I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

O LORD, thy word endureth for ever: it is more firmly fixed than the heavens. Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another: thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, and it abideth.
