Psalms 119:5
3 They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.
4 You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.
Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
6 Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.
7 I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
