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.
Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ẹni tí ọ̀nà wọn wà láìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ẹni tí í rìn ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin Olúwa.
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].
Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ẹni tí ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́ tí wọn sì ń wá a pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn wọn.
3 They do not do things that are wrong; they behave like Yahweh wants them to.
Wọn kò ṣe ohun tí kò dára; wọ́n rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
4 Yahweh, you have given [us] (your principles of behavior/all the things that you have declared that we should do), [and you told us] to obey them carefully.

9 [I know] [RHQ] how a youth can (keep his life pure/avoid sinning); it is by obeying what you have told us to do.
