Psalms 119:9-24

How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping Your word. I have sought You with all my heart; don’t let me wander from Your commands. I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You. LORD, may You be praised; teach me Your statutes. With my lips I proclaim all the judgments from Your mouth. I rejoice in the way revealed by Your decrees as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts and think about Your ways. I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Deal generously with Your servant so that I might live; then I will keep Your word. Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wonderful things from Your instruction. I am a stranger on earth; do not hide Your commands from me. I am continually overcome with longing for Your judgments. You rebuke the proud, the ones under a curse, who wander from Your commands. Take insult and contempt away from me, for I have kept Your decrees. Though princes sit together speaking against me, Your servant will think about Your statutes; Your decrees are my delight and my counselors.
