Psalms 119:103
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path, that I may keep Your word.
102 I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.
How sweet are Your words to my taste— sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
