Mem

97 Oh how (A)I love your law!
    It is my (B)meditation all the day.
98 Your commandment makes me (C)wiser than my enemies,
    for it is ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
    for (D)your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than (E)the aged,[a]
    for I (F)keep your precepts.
101 I (G)hold back my feet from every evil way,
    in order to keep your word.
102 I do not turn aside from your rules,
    for you have taught me.
103 How (H)sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through your precepts I get understanding;
    therefore (I)I hate every false way.
