ב (Beyt)

9 How can a young man keep his motives pure?

By obeying your message.

10 With my whole heart I search for you with all my being.

Don’t let me stray from what you commanded.

11 I’ve stored your message away in my memory

so that I’ll be less likely to sin against you.

12 You deserve praise, Yahweh.

Teach me your regulations.

13 With my lips I’ve proclaimed

all the judgements that you’ve pronounced.

14 I get happier about everything you’ve revealed

rather than any kind of riches.

15 I will meditate about your principles

and keep my eyes on your paths.

16 I take delight in your regulations—

I won’t forget what you’ve said.
