Psalms 119
1 (Yahweh is pleased with/Happy are) those about whom no one can say truthfully that they have done things that are wrong, those who always obey the laws of Yahweh.
Ndị a gọziri agọzi ka ha bụ, bụ ndị ụzọ ha na-enweghị ihe ịta ụta ọbụla, ndị na-ejegharị dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.
2 Yahweh is pleased with those who (obey his requirements/do what he has instructed them to do), those who request him with their entire inner beings to help them [to do that].
