Blessed are the undefiled,
Who walk in the way of the Lord;
Attitude humbled and mild,
While walking in one accord.
Blessed who keep testimonies,
Who will seek them with their whole heart;
As they root out all the phonies,
Only the truth will they impart.
They will do no iniquity,
Never walk in the wrongful ways;
Rather use their ability,
In helping anyone that strays.
God has commanded us to keep,
All His precepts diligently;
Profess to the wandering sheep,
Avoid acting immorally.
O that His ways are directed,
Steadfast in keeping His statutes;
So that your faith is protected,
And bearing an abundant fruits.
Then you will not be put to shame,
Having eyes fixed on all commands;
With ability to proclaim,
Makes your faith as it firmly stands.
I praise God with an upright heart,
When I learn of His righteous rules;
While my soul and mind impart,
I make a footstool of the fools.
I will cling unto His precepts,
Knowing that He will not forsake;
For I am the one who accepts,
God has never made a mistake.
