How can young people remain pure? By living according to Your word.
I seek You with my whole heart; let me not stray from Your commands.
In my heart I have kept Your word, that I may not sin against my Lord.
Praise to You, o Lord; instruct me in Your statutes.
That with my lips I may declare all Your spoken decrees.
I delight in following Your laws, more so than in all riches.

O Lord, Your word stands forever, firmly fixed in the heavens.
Your faithfulness lasts throughout the ages – as long as the earth You created.
Your ordinances last to this day for all things are made to serve You.
As Your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted understand.
Favour me with Your smile and teach me Your statutes.
Long may I live to sing Your praise, may Your ordinances always be my help!

Psalm 118 : 66, 68, 76, 77, 93, 94
Give me knowledge and good judgment for I trust in Your commands.
You are good, and Your works are good; teach me Your decrees.
Comfort me then with Your unfailing love, as You promised Your servant.
Let Your mercy come in to give me life, for Your law is my delight.
Never will I forget Your precepts, for with them You give me life.
Save me for I am Yours, since I seek Your statutes.
Psalm 98 : 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Extol the Lord, our God; worship at His footstool. Holy is He! And mighty!
Among His priests were Moses and Aaron, and Samuel among those who called on His Name. They called to the Lord, and He answered them.
In the pillar of cloud He spoke to them, and they kept His statutes and the decrees He gave them.
O Lord our God, You responded to them; You were a patient God for them, but You punished their wrongs.
Extol the Lord our God; worship at His holy mountain. Holy is the Lord our God!
Psalm 118 : 12, 16, 18, 27, 34, 35
Praise to You, o Lord; instruct me in Your statutes.
In Your laws I will rejoice and will not neglect Your words.
Open my eyes that I may see the marvelous truths in Your Law.
Explain to me all Your ordinances, and I will meditate on Your wondrous deeds.
Give me understanding, that I may observe Your Law with all my heart.
Guide me in obeying Your instructions, for my pleasure lies in them.
Psalm 118 : 1-2, 4-5, 7-8
Blessed are they whose ways are upright, who follow the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who treasure His word and seek Him with all their heart.
You have laid down precepts to be obeyed. O, that my ways were steadfast in observing Your statutes!
I will praise You with an upright spirit when I learn Your just precepts by heart. I mean to observe Your commandments. O, never abandon me.
