O that my ways were made so direct, that I might keep thy statutes!

Then I would not be ashamed, if I were focused on all your commands.

I rejoice in the lifestyle prescribed by your rules as if they were riches of all kinds.

All the kings of the land will give thanks and praise You, O Lord,
When they have heard of the promises of Your mouth [which were fulfilled].

If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.

If I were to fly away on the wings of the dawn, and settle down on the other side of the sea,

When as yet there was not one of them.

For He commanded and they were created.
