Psalm 119:97–112

מ‍ Mem

⁹⁷Oh, how I love Your law!

^aIt is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁸You, through Your commandments, make me ^bwiser than my enemies;

For they are ever with me.

⁹⁹I have more understanding than all my teachers,

^cFor Your testimonies are my meditation.

^100dI understand more than the ⁸ancients,

Because I keep Your precepts.

¹⁰¹I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

That I may keep Your word.

¹⁰²I have not departed from Your judgments,

For You Yourself have taught me.

^103eHow 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.

נ‍ Nun

^105fYour word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

^106gI have sworn and confirmed

That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

¹⁰⁷I am afflicted very much;

Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.

¹⁰⁸Accept, I pray, ^hthe freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,

And teach me Your judgments.

¹⁰⁹ⁱMy life is continually ⁹in my hand,

Yet I do not forget Your law.

^110jThe wicked have laid a snare for me,

Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.

^111kYour testimonies I have taken as a ¹heritage forever,

For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹¹²I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes

Forever, to the very end.
