9 How can a young person maintain a pure life?

By guarding it according to your instructions!

10 With all my heart I seek you.

Do not allow me to stray from your commands!

11 In my heart I store up your words,

so I might not sin against you.

12 You deserve praise, O Lord!

Teach me your statutes!

13 With my lips I proclaim

all the regulations you have revealed.

14 I rejoice in the lifestyle prescribed by your rules

as if they were riches of all kinds.

15 I will meditate on your precepts

and focus on your behavior.

16 I find delight in your statutes;

I do not forget your instructions.
