Verses 1–8 of Psalm 119

The words

Blessèd are those of blameless ways, Who live according to God’s word. Blessèd are those who keep his laws, Who with their whole heart seek the LORD.

They keep themselves from doing wrong By walking in his perfect ways. You have established laws for us That are to be obeyed always.

O that my ways were steadfast, LORD, In making your decrees my aim! So, when I think on your commands, I would not feel disgrace or shame.

I’ll praise you with an upright heart, As your just laws are learned by me. All your decrees I will obey; Do not forsake me utterly.

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
