Psalm 119: 97 - 112

Psalm 119:97-112

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

   Mem.
 ⁹⁷ O how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
⁹⁸ Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever ^[a]mine.
⁹⁹ I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the aged,
Because I have observed Your precepts.
¹⁰¹ I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
¹⁰² I have not turned aside from Your ordinances,
For You Yourself have taught me.
¹⁰³ How sweet are Your ^[b]words to my ^[c]taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
¹⁰⁴ From Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
   Nun.
 ¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
¹⁰⁶ I have sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.
¹⁰⁷ I am exceedingly afflicted;
^[d]Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.
¹⁰⁸ O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
And teach me Your ordinances.
¹⁰⁹ My ^[e]life is continually ^[f]in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not gone astray from Your precepts.
¹¹¹ I have inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
¹¹² I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, even to the end.
