NLTNew Living Translation

Yes, I have more insight than my teachers,

for I am always thinking of your laws.

I am even wiser than my elders,

for I have kept your commandments.

I have refused to walk on any evil path,

so that I may remain obedient to your word.

I haven’t turned away from your regulations,

for you have taught me well.

How sweet your words taste to me;

they are sweeter than honey.

Your commandments give me understanding;

no wonder I hate every false way of life.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet

and a light for my path.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I have more insight than all my teachers,

for your testimonies are my meditation.

I understand more than the elders,

for I keep your precepts.

I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

so that I may heed your word.

I have not turned aside from your ordinances,

for you have taught me.

How smooth are your words to my palate,

more than honey in my mouth.

From your precepts I get understanding,

therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path.
