7 The law of the Lord is perfect;

it gives new strength.

The commands of the Lord are trustworthy,

giving wisdom to those who lack it.

8 The laws of the Lord are right,

and those who obey them are happy.

The commands of the Lord are just

and give understanding to the mind.

9 Reverence for the Lord is good;

it will continue forever.

The judgments of the Lord are just;

they are always fair.

10 They are more desirable than the finest gold;

they are sweeter than the purest honey.

11 They give knowledge to me, your servant;

I am rewarded for obeying them.

9 How can young people keep their lives pure?

By obeying your commands.

10 With all my heart I try to serve you;

keep me from disobeying your commandments.

11 I keep your law in my heart,

so that I will not sin against you.

33 Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your laws,

and I will obey them at all times.

34 Explain your law to me, and I will obey it;

I will keep it with all my heart.

35 Keep me obedient to your commandments,

because in them I find happiness.

36 Give me the desire to obey your laws

rather than to get rich.

89 Your word, O Lord, will last forever;

it is eternal in heaven.

90 Your faithfulness endures through all the ages;

you have set the earth in place, and it remains.

91 All things remain to this day because of your command,

because they are all your servants.

92 If your law had not been the source of my joy,

I would have died from my sufferings.

93 I will never neglect your instructions,

because by them you have kept me alive.

97 How I love your law!

I think about it all day long.

98 Your commandment is with me all the time

and makes me wiser than my enemies.

99 I understand more than all my teachers,

because I meditate on your instructions.

100 I have greater wisdom than those who are old,

because I obey your commands.

101 I have avoided all evil conduct,

because I want to obey your word.

102 I have not neglected your instructions,

because you yourself are my teacher.

103 How sweet is the taste of your instructions—

sweeter even than honey!

104 I gain wisdom from your laws,

and so I hate all bad conduct.

105 Your word is a lamp to guide me

and a light for my path.

106 I will keep my solemn promise

to obey your just instructions.

129 Your teachings are wonderful;

I obey them with all my heart.

130 The explanation of your teachings gives light

and brings wisdom to the ignorant.
