Psalms 119:97
95 The wicked wait to destroy me, but I will ponder Your testimonies.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your commandment is without limit.
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.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
