Full Lyrics
Bless-ed are they that un-de-filed,
And straight are in the way;
Who in the Lord's most ho-ly law
Do walk, and do not stray.
Bless-ed are they who to ob-serve
His stat-utes are in-clined;
And who do seek the liv-ing God
With all their heart and mind.
Such in His ways do walk, and they
Do no in-iq-ui-ty;
For Thou hast charg-ed that we should
Thy pre-cepts keep with care.
O that my ways were di-rect-ed
Thy stat-utes to ful-fill!
Then shall I not be put to shame,
When I re-spect Thy will.
