Psalms 119:10
8 I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.
With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.
11 I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
12 Blessed are You, O LORD; teach me Your statutes.
