Psalms 119:104
102 I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your words to my taste— sweeter than honey in my mouth!
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.
106 I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
