3 They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways. 365N 156.3
4 You have commanded us To keep Your precepts diligently. 365N 156.4
5 Oh, that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes! 365N 156.5
6 Then I would not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments. 365N 156.6
7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments. 365N 156.7

9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. 365N 156.9
10 With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! 365N 156.10
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. 365N 156.11
12 Blessed are You, O Lord ! Teach me Your statutes. 365N 156.12

20 My soul [c] breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times. 365N 156.20
21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed, Who stray from Your commandments. 365N 156.21

23 Princes also sit and speak against me, But Your servant meditates on Your statutes. 365N 156.23
24 Your testimonies also are my delight And my counselors. 365N 156.24
25 My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. 365N 156.25
