94 I am thine, O save me for I have sought thy commandments.

95 The ungodly laid wait for me to destroy me but I will consider thy testimonies.

96 I see that all things come to an end but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Quomodo dilexi.

LORD, what love have I unto thy

law all the day long is my

study in it.

98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies for they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than my teachers for thy testimonies are my study.

100 I am wiser than the aged because I keep thy commandments.

101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way that I may keep thy word.

102 I have not shrunk from thy judgements for thou teachest me.

103 O how sweet are thy words unto my throat yea, sweeter than honey unto my mouth.

104 Through thy commandments I get understanding therefore I hate all evil ways.
