96
I have seen the consummation of all perfection, But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
97
Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.
98
You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me.
99
I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation.
100
I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep Your precepts.
101
I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Your word.
102
I have not departed from Your judgments, For You Yourself have taught me.
103
How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104
Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.
105
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
106
I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107
I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108
Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, And teach me Your judgments.
109
My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your law.
110
The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111
Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112
I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, to the very end.
113
I hate the double-minded, But I love Your law.
114
You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.
115
Depart from me, you evildoers, For I will keep the commandments of my God!
116
Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.
