Psalms 119:97
Compare all
95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will1 consider Your testimonies. 
96 aI have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad. 

ם Mem

97 Oh, how I love Your law!
aIt is my meditation all the day. 
98 You, through Your commandments, make me awiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me. 
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
aFor Your testimonies are my meditation. 
100 aI understand more than the1 ancients,
Because I keep Your precepts. 
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
102 I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 aHow sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth! 
104 Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

ן Nun

105 aYour word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path. 
106 aI have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments. 
107 I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, athe freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your judgments. 
109 aMy life is continually1 in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law. 
110 aThe wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts. 
111 aYour testimonies I have taken as a1 heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart. 
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.

ס Samek

113 I hate the1 double-minded,
But I love Your law. 
114 aYou are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word.
