Psalm 119:97–112

⁹⁷Mem. O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it is my meditation.

⁹⁸Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it is before me to the age.

⁹⁹Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.

¹⁰¹From every evil path I restrained my feet, So that I keep Thy word.

¹⁰²From Thy judgments I turned not aside, For Thou—Thou hast directed me.

¹⁰³How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!

¹⁰⁵Nun. A lamp to my foot is Thy word, And a light to my path.

¹⁰⁶I have sworn, and I confirm it, To keep the judgments of Thy righteousness.

¹⁰⁷I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me, according to Thy word.

¹⁰⁸Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me.

¹⁰⁹My soul is in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

¹¹⁰The wicked have laid a snare for me, And from thy precepts I wandered not.

¹¹¹I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy of my heart are they.

¹¹²I have inclined my heart To do Thy statutes, to the age—to the end!
