Hearing Your voice, heeding Your words
cleanses the youngster’s way.
Let me not stray from Your commands!
With my whole heart I seek You!
Hiding Your words deep in my soul
guards me from sin each day.
Bless-ed are You, Father above;
teach me all of Your statutes.
I would praise You with an upright heart!
Study and follow Your wise commands!
I would be like those You blessed of old–
those who forever rest in Your hands.
Savior, my lips gladly declare
all the decrees You say.
More than in wealth do I rejoice
in Your wise testimonies.
I contemplate, ponder with awe,
Your precepts and Your ways–
statutes in which I take delight!
Your words will never leave me!
I would praise You with an upright heart!
Study and follow Your wise commands!
I would be like those You blessed of old–
those who forever rest in Your hands.
