1 How ^{▼▼The stanzas of this poem form an acrostic}. happy are those whose way is blameless, ^b
who live according to the Lord’s instruction! ^c
2 Happy are those who keep His decrees ^d
and seek Him with all their heart. ^e
3 They do nothing wrong; ^f
they follow His ways.
4 You have commanded that Your precepts ^g
be diligently kept.
5 If only my ways were committed
to keeping Your statutes! ^h
6 Then I would not be ashamed ⁱ
when I think about all Your commands.
7 I will praise You with a sincere heart ^j
when I learn Your righteous judgments.
8 I will keep Your statutes;
never abandon me. ^k
