9 Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way?

By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee:

Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart,

That I might not sin against thee.

12 Blessed art thou, O Jehovah:

Teach me thy statutes.

13 With my lips have I declared

All the ordinances of thy mouth.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate on thy precepts,

And have respect unto thy ways.

16 I will delight myself in thy statutes:

I will not forget thy word.
