 [verse 9]  O by what meanes his way and life clean shall a young man make?
If he according to thy word thereto good heed do take.
 [verse 10]  Unfainedly I have thee sought, and seeking thus abide▪
Let me not w•…•…nder from thy lawes, nor from them turne aside.

 [verse 11]  Within my heart and secret thought•…•… thy words I have hid still;
That I might not at any time offend thy holy will.
 [verse 12]  Blessed art thou, O righteous Lord, and praise is due to thee;
Then for the glory of thy grace, thy statutes teach thou me.

 [verse 13]  The righteous judgements which thy mouth for mans direction gave;
My lips to others willingly them all declared have.
 [verse 14]  Thy testimonies and thy waies have made my heart so glad;
As if the riches and the wealth of all the earth I had.

 [verse 15]  I of thy precepts still will think, and thereto frame my talk;
As at a mark, so will I aime thy waies how I may walk.
 [verse 16]  Upon thy statutes my delight shall be so surely set,
That by thy grace I never will thy holy word forget.
