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.
