97  Oh how ^xI love your law!

It is my ^ymeditation all the day.

98  Your commandment makes me ^zwiser than my enemies,

for it is ever with me.

99  I have more understanding than all my teachers,

for ^ayour testimonies are my meditation.

100  I understand more than ^bthe aged,¹

for I ^ckeep your precepts.

101  I ^dhold back my feet from every evil way,

in order to keep your word.

102  I do not turn aside from your rules,

for you have taught me.

103  How ^esweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104  Through your precepts I get understanding;

therefore ^fI hate every false way.

105  ^gYour word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path.

106  I have ^hsworn an oath and confirmed it,

to keep your ⁱrighteous rules.

107  I am severely ^jafflicted;

^kgive me life, O Lord, according to your word!

108  Accept ^lmy freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,

and ^mteach me your rules.

109  I hold my life ⁿin my hand continually,

but I do not ^oforget your law.

110  The wicked have laid ^pa snare for me,

but ^qI do not stray from your precepts.

111  Your testimonies are ^rmy heritage forever,

for they are ^sthe joy of my heart.

112  I ^tincline my heart to perform your statutes

forever, ^uto the end.²
