O how I love your holy law, O LORD!
All day I meditate upon your word;
It makes me wiser than my enemies,
for your commands are ever with me, LORD.
I have more wisdom than my teachers, LORD,
for on your laws I meditate each day.
I have more insight than the aged ones,
for all your testimonies I obey.
I keep my feet from ev’ry evil path,
for I desire to follow all your word;
since you have taught me all your wise decrees,
from them I do not turn aside, O LORD.
How sweet your words are, LORD, unto my taste—
sweeter than honey is upon my tongue.
Through your commandments I will understand,
therefore, O LORD, I hate each path that’s wrong.
