8,6,8,6 ^9By what means shall a young man learn his way to purify? If he according to thy word thereto attentive be. ^10Unfeignedly thee have I sought with all my soul and heart: O let me not from the right path of thy commands depart. ^11Thy word I in my heart have hid, that I offend not thee. ^12O Lord, thou ever blessed art, thy statutes teach thou me. ^13The judgments of thy mouth each one my lips declared have: ^14More joy thy testimonies' way than riches all me gave. ^15I will thy holy precepts make my meditation; And carefully I'll have respect unto thy ways each one. ^16Upon thy statutes my delight shall constantly be set: And, by thy grace, I never will thy holy word forget. |
