Psalm 119:97-112

English Standard Version

#### Mem

97 Oh how I love your law!
 It is my meditation all the day.
98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
 for it is ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
 for your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the aged,\[[a](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20119%3A97-112&version=ESV#fen-ESV-15999a "See footnote a")\]

 for I keep your precepts.
101 I hold back my feet from every evil way,
 in order to keep your word.
102 I do not turn aside from your rules,
 for you have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
 sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through your precepts I get understanding;
 therefore I hate every false way.

#### Nun

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
 and a light to my path.
106 I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
 to keep your righteous rules.
107 I am severely afflicted;
 give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
108 Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
 and teach me your rules.
109 I hold my life in my hand continually,
 but I do not forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me,
 but I do not stray from your precepts.
111 Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
 for they are the joy of my heart.
112 I incline my heart to perform your statutes
 forever, to the end.\[[b](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20119%3A97-112&version=ESV#fen-ESV-16011b "See footnote b")\]
