Psalm 119:9-16 Part 7

            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 will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.

People from many nations will come and say,

"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

    to the house of Jacob's God.

For the LORD's teaching will go out from Zion;

    his word will go out from Jerusalem.  (see Isaiah 2:1-4)

Let those who are wise understand these things.
