8. I will keep Your statutes;Oh, do not forsake me utterly!
9. How can a young man cleanse his way?By taking heed according to Your word.
10. With my whole heart I have sought You;Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
11. Your word I have hidden in my heart,That I might not sin against You.
12. Blessed are You, O Lord!Teach me Your statutes.
13. With my lips I have declaredAll the judgments 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 contemplate Your ways.
16. I will delight myself in Your statutes;I will not forget Your word.
17. Deal bountifully with Your servant,That I may live and keep Your word.
18. Open my eyes, that I may seeWondrous things from Your law.
19. I am a stranger in the earth;Do not hide Your commandments from me.
20. My soul breaks with longingFor Your judgments at all times.
