א Aleph
1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—
3 they do no wrong but follow his ways.
4 You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!
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 your righteous laws.
8 I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.
My Scripture memory goal for 2018 was to memorize all 176 verses of Psalm 119. It breaks down into 22 stanzas of 8 verses each, so I wrote about 2 songs every month. It sure helped to make these verses stick in my mind and heart!
These are all in the NIV (2011) translation.
