Psalm 119

1. How blessed are those upright in their way,  / Who keep the LORD’s decrees with dedication  / And in their walk of life His law obey.  / How blest are those who with determination,  / Wholeheartedly, seek Him by night and day  / And look to Him for guidance and salvation.

2. How blest are they who shun iniquities,  / Thy holy law with diligence observing.  / Thou hast laid down Thy statutes and decrees,  / To be obeyed in faithfulness unswerving.  / O may I but submit myself to these  / And so go forth, a steady course preserving. 

3. I know that I shall not be put to shame  / If I but with attention undivided  / Heed the commands which Thou, LORD, didst  / proclaim.  / I thank Thee for the law Thou hast provided;  / I worship Thee and praise Thy holy Name.  / Forsake me not; by Thee let me be guided. / William Helder, 1972
