Psalm 119 : Beth

By what means shall a young man learn

his way to purify?

If he according to thy word

thereto attentive be.

Unfeignedly thee have I sought

with all my soul and heart:

O let me not from the right path

of thy commands depart.

.....

Thy word I in my heart have hid,

that I offend not thee.

O Lord, thou ever blessed art,

thy statutes teach thou me.

The judgements of thy mouth each one

my lips declared have:

More joy thy testimonies' way
than riches all me gave.

.....

I will thy holy precepts make

my meditation;

And carefully I'll have respect

unto thy ways each one.

Upon thy statutes my delight

shall constantly be set:

And, by thy grace, I never will

thy holy word forget.

........
