Psalm 119 - Beth

119 Beth.mp3

Here is the second of 22 songs from the 119th Psalm. If Todd can memorize it, I decided, I can put it to music.

Бет

9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

(BTW: It may be worth considering that the Hebrew word here for "statutes" can also be translated as "task, job, stewardship". Or even, in modern Mormon vernacular, "calling".)
