The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.
I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.
MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day.
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation.
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
