97Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all day long.
98Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me.
99I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your decrees are my meditation.
100I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts.
101I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.
102I do not turn away from your ordinances, for you have taught me.
103How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
106I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to observe your righteous ordinances.
107I am severely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to your word.
108Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord, and teach me your ordinances.
109I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law.
110The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts.
111Your decrees are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.
112I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.
