 97  O how love I thy law! it is
        my study all the day:
 98  It makes me wiser than my foes;
        for it doth with me stay.
 99  Than all my teachers now I have
        more understanding far;
     Because my meditätion
        thy testimonies are.

100  In understanding I excel
        those that are äncients;
     For I endeavorèd to keep
        all thy commandements.
101  My feet from each ill way I stayed,
        that I may keep thy word.
102  I from thy judgments have not swerved;
        for thou hast taught me, Lord.

103   How sweet unto my taste, O Lord,
          are all thy words of truth!
      Yea, I do find them sweeter far
          than honey to my mouth.
104  I through thy precepts, that are pure,
        do understanding get;
     I therefore ev'ry way that's false
        with all my heart do hate
