Psalm 119:9-16 Part 3

            BETH

How can a young person stay pure?

    By obeying your word.

I have tried hard to find you--

    don't let me wander from your commands.

I have hidden your word in my heart,

    that I might not sin against you.

I praise you, O LORD;

    teach me your decrees.

I have recited aloud

    all the regulations you have given us.

I have rejoiced in your laws

    as much as in riches.

I will study your commandments

    and reflect on your ways.

I will delight in your decrees

    and not forget your word. 

 

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
