Psalm 119:97-112 NWT
97 How I do love your law! All day long it is my concern.
98 Wiser than my enemies your commandment makes me, Because to time indefinite it is mine.
99 More insight than all my teachers I have come to have, Because your reminders are a concern to me.
100 With more understanding than older men I behave, Because I have observed your own orders.
101 From every bad path I have restrained my feet, For the purpose that I may keep your word.
102 From your judicial decisions I have not turned aside, For you yourself have instructed me.
103 How smooth to my palate your sayings have been, More so than honey to my mouth!
104 Owing to your orders I behave with understanding. That is why I have hated every false path.
[Nun] 105 Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light to my roadway.
106 I have made a sworn statement, and I will carry it out, To keep your righteous judicial decisions.
107 I have been afflicted to a great extent. O Jehovah, preserve me alive according to your word.
108 Please take pleasure in the voluntary offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me your own judicial decisions.
109 My soul is in my palm constantly; But your law I have not forgotten.
110 The wicked have set a trap for me, But from your orders I have not wandered.
111 I have taken your reminders as a possession to time indefinite, For they are the exultation of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to do your regulations To time indefinite, down to the last.
