Psalm 119:1-8 for Maren 
Psalm 119
The Glories of God’s Law 
1 Happy are those whose way is blameless,
   who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Happy are those who keep his decrees,
   who seek him with their whole heart,
3 who also do no wrong,
   but walk in his ways.
4 You have commanded your precepts
   to be kept diligently.
5 O that my ways may be steadfast
   in keeping your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be put to shame,
   having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart,
   when I learn your righteous ordinances.
8 I will observe your statutes;
   do not utterly forsake me.
Psalm 119
The Glories of Creator’s Teachings  
Joyful are those who walk the paths of good choices who follow the teachings of the Creator. 
Joyful are those who search for Grandfather’s wisdoms with their whole 
being and do not stray into unwholesome ways. 
You have directed your commandments to be faithfully followed. 
O grant that my steps may be sacred to Mother Earth. 
That we, your people are devoted to caring for Turtle Island and its traditions. 
We will share our gratitude with the voices of all your creatures as we honour your directives and teach them to our next seven generations.  
I will respect your knowledge, do not turn your back on me and walk away in your moccasins.
