How happy are those whose way is blameless, who live according to the Lord ’s instruction! Happy are those who keep His decrees and seek Him with all their heart. I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You. Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wonderful things from Your Law. Lord , Your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven. Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.
Psalms 119:1-2, 11, 18, 89, 105
