Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide.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. NunYour word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go.For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy.Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
