2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.
Woayra ame siwo léa eƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye wodinɛ kple woƒe dzi blibo.
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.

Wò dzɔdzɔenyenye li tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, eye wò se la hã nye nyateƒe.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments are my delight.

144 Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.
