Psalm 119:97-105
97
MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105
NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

1
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
