Psalm 119 with Jesus Christ in view

 aAleph

 1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Blessed are those who keep the teachings of Jesus Christ and seek him with all their heart—
3 they do no wrong but follow his ways.
4 You have laid down His precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying Jesus Christ!
6 Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn from Jesus Christ.
8 I will obey Jesus Christ; do not utterly forsake me.

   ב Beth

   9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from Jesus Christ.
11 I have enthroned Jesus Christ in my heart that I might not sin against Him.
12 Praise be to you, LORD; teach me the decrees of Jesus Christ.
13 With my lips I recount all the words of Jesus that come from his mouth.
14 I rejoice in following Jesus Christ as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on Jesus Christ and consider His ways.
16 I delight in Jesus Christ; I will not neglect his word.

19 I am a stranger on earth; do not hide Jesus Christ from me.
20 My soul is consumed with longing for Jesus Christ at all times.
21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed, those who stray from Jesus Christ.
22 Remove from me their scorn and contempt, for I keep the sayings of Jesus Christ.
23 Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on Jesus Christ.
24 Jesus Christ is my delight; he is my counselor.
