All day long I spend time thinking about it.Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, because your commands are always in my heart.I know more than all my teachers do, because I spend time thinking about your covenant laws.I understand more than the elders do, because I obey your rules.I’ve kept my feet from every path that sinners take so that I might obey your word.I haven’t turned away from your laws, because you yourself have taught me.Your words are very sweet to my taste! They are sweeter than honey to me.I gain understanding from your rules. So I hate every path that sinners take. NunYour word is like a lamp that shows me the way. It is like a light that guides me.
