Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,for they are always with me. I have more insight than all my teachers,for Your testimonies are my meditation. I discern more than the elders,for I obey Your precepts. I have kept my feet from every evil path,that I may keep Your word. I have not departed from Your ordinances,for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your words to my taste—sweeter than honey in my mouth! I gain understanding from Your precepts;therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feetand a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmedthat I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am severely afflicted, O [LORD](/persons/god);revive me through Your word. Accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,and teach me Your judgments. I constantly take my life in my hands,yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have set a snare for me,but I have not strayed from Your precepts. Your testimonies are my heritage forever,for they are the joy of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes,even to the very end. The double-minded I despise,but Your law I love. You are my hiding place and my shield;I put my hope in Your word. Depart from me, you evildoers,that I may obey the commandments of my God. Sustain me as You promised, that I may live;let me not be ashamed of my hope. Uphold me, and I will be saved,that I may always regard Your statutes. You reject all who stray from Your statutes,for their deceitfulness is in vain. All the wicked on earth You discard like dross;therefore I love Your testimonies. My flesh trembles in awe of You;I stand in fear of Your judgments.
