68.4 Praise of God's Perfect Law

(Psalm 119:1-8)

Happy are those whose lives are faultless,
who live according to the law of the Lord.
Happy are those who follow his commands,
who obey Him with all their heart.
They never do wrong;
they walk in the Lord's ways.

Lord you have given us your laws
and told us to obey them faithfully.
How I hope that I shall be faithful
in keeping your instructions!
If I pay attention to all your commands,
then I will not be put to shame.
As I learn your righteous judgments,
I will praise you with a pure heart.
I will obey your laws; never abandon me!
