₁Happy 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!
