BETH

⁹ How can a young man keep his way pure?
    By living according to your word.
¹⁰ With my whole heart I have sought you.
    Don’t let me wander from your commandments.
¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart,
    that I might not sin against you.
¹² Blessed are you, Yahweh.
    Teach me your statutes.
¹³ With my lips,
    I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
    as much as in all riches.
¹⁵ I will meditate on your precepts,
    and consider your ways.
¹⁶ I will delight myself in your statutes.
    I will not forget your word.
