Psalms 119:99
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.
I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I discern more than the elders, for I obey Your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path, that I may keep Your word.
