Salmene 119,105

103 Hvor søte er dine ord for min smak!
Ja, søtere enn honning for min munn!

104 Fra dine påbud får jeg forståelse;
Derfor hater jeg hver falsk vei.

Ditt ord er som en lampe for min fot
Og et lys på min sti.

106 Jeg har avlagt en ed og vil holde den,
At jeg vil holde dine rettferdige dommer.

107 Jeg er overmåte plaget;
Gi meg liv, Herre, etter ditt ord.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
