Compare all

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.

Psalms 119:98

Wiser than mine enemies - Some have thought that this Psalm was composed by Daniel, and that he speaks of himself in these verses. Being instructed by God, he was found to have more knowledge than any of the Chaldeans, magicians, soothsayers, etc., etc.; and his wisdom soon appeared to the whole nation vastly superior to theirs.
