Psalm 119:9-16

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Young people can live
a clean life
    by obeying your word.
¹⁰ I worship you
    with all my heart.
Don't let me walk away
    from your commands.
¹¹ I treasure your word
    above all else;
it keeps me from sinning
    against you.
¹² I praise you, Lord!
    Teach me your laws.
¹³ With my own mouth,
I tell others the laws
    that you have spoken.
¹⁴ Obeying your instructions
brings as much happiness
    as being rich.
¹⁵ I will study your teachings
    and follow your footsteps.
¹⁶ I will take pleasure
in your laws
    and remember your words.
