In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked — it talketh [with] thee.
In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.
Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.
[Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe — according to Thy word.
[Mem.] O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it [is] my meditation.
As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.
Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee,
