I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
