How blest are those whose way is pure

by Graham D. S. Deans
Psalm 119:1-8

1  How blest are those whose way is pure, 
    and free from guilt or blame, 
who honour all the laws of God, 
    and glorify His Name! 
 
2  How blest are those who keep His word, 
    and ever are inclined 
to seek the one eternal God 
    with all their heart and mind. 
 
3  They shun the paths that lead to sin, 
    and only walk the way 
of God's commands, which He has called 
    His people to obey. 
 
4  O that my ways were firmly fixed 
    according to His will, 
that all His precepts I might keep, 
    and all His laws fulfil. 
 
5  Then shall I not be put to shame  
    but shall respond with praise, 
in gratitude for what I've learned 
    of all God's righteous ways. 
 
6  The statutes of the Lord I'll keep, 
    and His decrees obey. 
Do not abandon me, O God; 
    forsake me not, I pray.
