Lyrics (119:1-2, 4-5, 17-18, 33-34):
Response: Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
Blessed are they whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are they who observe his decrees,
who seek him with all their heart. Response
You have commanded that your precepts be diligently kept.
Oh, that I might be firm in the ways of keeping your statutes! Response
Be good to your servant, that I may live and keep your words.
Open my eyes, that I may consider the wonders of your law. Response
Instruct me, O Lord, in the way of your statutes,
that I may exactly observe them.
Give me discernment, that I may observe your law
and keep it with all my heart. Response
