Psalm 119:97-104 NLT
[97] Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.
[98] Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide.
[99] Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws.
[100] I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments.
[101] I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word.
[102] I haven’t turned away from your regulations, for you have taught me well.
[103] How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.
[104] Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life.
