Psalms 119:4
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.
3 They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.
You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.
5 Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
6 Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.
