I have sought you with all my heart

Psalm 119:9-16
II (Beth)

A meditation on God’s law

Loving God means keeping his commandments (1 John 5:3).

How shall the young remain sinless? *
By obeying your word.
I have sought you with all my heart: *
let me not stray from your commands.

I treasure your promise in my heart *
lest I sin against you.
Blessed are you, O Lord; *
teach me your statutes.

With my tongue I have recounted *
the decrees of your lips.
I rejoiced to do your will *
as though all riches were mine.

I will ponder all your precepts *
and consider your paths.
I take delight in your statutes; *
I will not forget your word.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
