Read Psalm 119:1-8

Happy are those whose lives are faultless,

who live according to the law of the Lord.

²Happy are those who follow his commands,

who obey him with all their heart.

³They never do wrong;

they walk in the Lord’s ways.

⁴Lord, you have given us your laws

and told us to obey them faithfully.

⁵How I hope that I shall be faithful

in keeping your instructions!

⁶If I pay attention to all your commands,

then I will not be put to shame.

⁷As I learn your righteous judgements,

I will praise you with a pure heart.

⁸I will obey your laws;

never abandon me!

The Psalmist reflects on how happy he would be if only he would keep all of the laws of the Lord.

Lord I want to live according to your values; don't leave me until I learn how.
