Alleluia. ALEPH. Beati immaculati in via: qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2 O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
Beati, qui scrutantur testimonia eius: in toto corde exquirunt eum.
3 Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem, in viis eius ambulaverunt.
4 Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,
Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis.
5 O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ, ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas.

Confitebor tibi in directione cordis: in eo quod didici iudicia iustitiæ tuæ.
8 Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
Iustificationes tuas custodiam: non me derelinquas usquequaque.
9 [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe — according to Thy word.
BETH. In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos.
10 With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
In toto corde meo exquisivi te: ne repellas me a mandatis tuis.
11 In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua: ut non peccem tibi.

Increpasti superbos: maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
Aufer a me opprobrium, et contemptum: quia testimonia tua exquisivi.
23 Princes also sat — against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,
Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur: servus autem tuus exercebatur in iustificationibus tuis.
24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est: et consilium meum iustificationes tuæ.
