97 Lord, how I love your law! ♦︎
All the day long it is my study.
98 Your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies, ♦︎
for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, ♦︎
for your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I am wiser than the aged, ♦︎
because I keep your commandments.
101 I restrain my feet from every evil way, ♦︎
that I may keep your word.
102 I have not turned aside from your judgements, ♦︎
for you have been my teacher.
103 How sweet are your words on my tongue! ♦︎
They are sweeter than honey to my mouth.
104 Through your commandments I get understanding; ♦︎
therefore I hate all lying ways.
105 Your word is a lantern to my feet ♦︎
and a light upon my path.
106 I have sworn and will fulfil it, ♦︎
to keep your righteous judgements.
107 I am troubled above measure; ♦︎
give me life, O Lord, according to your word.
108 Accept the freewill offering of my mouth, O Lord, ♦︎
and teach me your judgements.
109 My soul is ever in my hand, ♦︎
yet I do not forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, ♦︎
but I have not strayed from your commandments.
111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever; ♦︎
for they are the very joy of my heart.
112 I have applied my heart to fulfil your statutes: ♦︎
always, even to the end.
113 I hate those who are double-minded, ♦︎
but your law do I love.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield ♦︎
and my hope is in your word.
115 Away from me, you wicked! ♦︎
I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Sustain me according to your promise, that I may live, ♦︎
and let me not be disappointed in my hope.
117 Hold me up and I shall be saved, ♦︎
and my delight shall be ever in your statutes.
118 You set at nought those who depart from your statutes, ♦︎
for their deceiving is in vain.
119 You consider all the wicked as dross; ♦︎
therefore I love your testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you ♦︎
and I am afraid of your judgements.
