Psalms 119:111
109 I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law.
110 The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end.
113 The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
