Psalms 119:99-107

⁹⁹In fact I have a better insight than all of my teachers because I spend time concentrating on what you say.

¹⁰⁰I even understand more than the elders because I follow your directions.

¹⁰¹I avoid any course of action that leads to evil, because I want to remain faithful to your word.

¹⁰²I have not disregarded your instructions because you yourself taught me what to do.

¹⁰³Your words taste so sweet to me! They are sweeter than honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴I gain understanding from what you say, so I hate any way of life that's just a lie.

¹⁰⁵Nun Your word is a lamp that shows me where to walk, it's a light for my path.

¹⁰⁶I've made a promise, and I will keep it: I will keep your rules that are always right!

¹⁰⁷Lord, I'm really suffering! Please let me live, as you have promised.
