9 How can the young keep their life pure?
By doing what your word demands!
10 I seek you with my heart and soul;
let me not stray from your commands.
11 Your word I treasure in my heart
to keep me from offending you.
12 Praise be to you, O LORD my God;
teach me your statutes firm and true.
13 Each law proceeding from your mouth
I gladly with my lips have told.
14 I love to follow your commands,
as others love to count their gold.
15 I meditate upon your ways
and on your precepts I reflect.
16 I take delight in your decrees;
your word I never will neglect.
