 Beth

How shall a young man cleanse his way? * By keeping to your words.

With my whole heart I seek you; * let me not stray from your commandments.

I treasure your promise in my heart, * that I may not sin against you.

Blessed are you, O ; * instruct me in your statutes.

With my lips will I recite * all the judgments of your mouth.

I have taken greater delight in the way of your decrees * than in all manner of riches.

I will meditate on your commandments * and give attention to your ways.

My delight is in your statutes; * I will not forget your word.

Gimel

Deal bountifully with your servant, * that I may live and keep your word.

Open my eyes, that I may see * the wonders of your law.

I am a stranger here on earth; * do not hide your commandments from me.

My soul is consumed at all times * with longing for your judgments.
