How I love your law! * it is my meditation all day long.

Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, * because it is ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers, * because your terms are my study.

I understand more than the old, * because I observe your precepts.

I restrain my feet from every evil path, * in order to keep your word.

I do not turn aside from your decrees, * since you yourself have taught me.

How tasty to my palate your words, * how sweet to my mouth!

Through your precepts I gain insight, * Supreme Being, I hate every false way.
