 [verse 97]  How dearly do I love thy law? and with how great affection?
For thereupon throughout the day I fix my meditation.
 [verse 98]  By thy cōmandments thou hast made me farre more wise to be
Then are my foes, because thy lawes do still abide with me.

 [verse 99]  In understanding I excell those that instructed me;
Because thy testimonies just my meditation be.
 [verse 100]  In understanding I exceed those that are full of daies;
Because I straitly strive to keep thy precepts and thy waies.

 [verse 101]  And I my feet restrained have from every evill way;
That of thy word the holy path precisely keep I may.
 [verse 102]  From the right judgements of thy mouth I never did depart:
For thou didst teach me inwardly, and wrot'st them in my heart.

 [verse 103]  O what a sweetnes, from thy words into my taste doth passe?
Doubtlesse, that sweetnesse to my mouth more sweet then hony was.
 [verse 104]  I through thy precepts full of light get understanding so,
That all false waies my soule doth hate, in them I will not go.
