Psalms 119:11
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.
10 With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.
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.
13 With my lips I proclaim all the judgments of Your mouth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
