Psalm 118:97–112

⁹⁷O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁸Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.

⁹⁹I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.

¹⁰¹I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.

¹⁰²I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.

¹⁰³How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.

¹⁰⁵Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.

¹⁰⁶I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.

¹⁰⁷I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.

¹⁰⁸The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.

¹⁰⁹My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.

¹¹⁰Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.

¹¹¹I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are the joy of my heart.

¹¹²I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
