- Blessed are those who keep his statutes,
who seek him with their whole heart. - I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart,
when I learn your righteous judgments. - 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. - I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
as much as in all riches. - I have chosen the way of truth.
I have set your ordinances before me. - Turn my heart toward your statutes,
not toward selfish gain. - I will walk in liberty,
for I have sought your precepts. - I will hurry, and not delay,
to obey your commandments. - I will never forget your precepts,
for with them, you have revived me. - Your word is a lamp to my feet,
and a light for my path. - I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. - You are my hiding place and my shield.
I hope in your word. - The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple. - Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me. - All of your words are truth.
Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever. - Those who love your law have great peace.
Nothing causes them to stumble. - Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue. - I will lift up my eyes to the hills.
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth. - He will not allow your foot to be moved.
He who keeps you will not slumber. - Yahweh will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forward, and forever more. - Our help is in Yahweh’s name,
who made heaven and earth. - Unless Yahweh builds the house,
they who build it labor in vain.
Unless Yahweh watches over the city,
the watchman guards it in vain. - Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
who walks in his ways.
