9 How can a young man keep his way pure?

By living according to your word.

10 With my whole heart I have sought you.

Don’t let me wander from your commandments.

11 I have hidden your word in my heart,

that I might not sin against you.

12 Blessed are you, LORD.

Teach me your statutes.

13 With my lips,

I have declared all the ordinances 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 consider your ways.

16 I will delight myself in your statutes.

I will not forget your word.
