By taking heed according to Your word.

10 With my whole heart I have ^asought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! ‡

11 ^aYour word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You. ‡

12 Blessed are You, O Lord!
Teach me Your statutes.

13 With my lips I have ^adeclared
All the judgments of Your mouth. ‡

14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate on Your precepts,
And¹ contemplate Your ways. ‡
