Psalm 119

Aleph, The 1st Part.

8,6,8,6

1Blessed are they that undefil'd,

and straight are in the way;

Who in the Lord's most holy law

do walk, and do not stray.

2Blessed are they who to observe

his statutes are inclin'd;

And who do seek the living God

with their whole heart and mind.

3Such in his ways do walk, and they

do no iniquity.

4Thou hast commanded us to keep

thy precepts carefully.

5O that thy statutes to observe

thou would'st my ways direct!

6Then shall I not be sham'd, when I

thy precepts all respect.

7Then with integrity of heart

thee will I praise and bless,

When I the judgments all have learn'd

of thy pure righteousness.

8That I will keep thy statutes all

firmly resolv'd have I:

O do not then, most gracious God,

forsake me utterly.
