Psalms 119:96

94 I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts.

95 The wicked wait to destroy me, but I will ponder Your testimonies.

I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your commandment is without limit.

97 Oh, how I love Your law! All day long it is my meditation.

98 Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me.

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