100 I understand (A)more than those who are old,
Because I have (B)complied with Your precepts.
101 I have (C)restrained my feet from every evil way,
So that I may keep Your word.
102 I have not (D)turned aside from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How (E)sweet are Your [a]words to my [b]taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 From Your precepts I (F)get understanding;
Therefore I (G)hate every false way.

Nun

105 Your word is a (H)lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have (I)sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am exceedingly (J)afflicted;
[c](K)Revive me, Lord, according to Your word.
108 Be pleased to accept the [d](L)voluntary offerings of my mouth, Lord,
And (M)teach me Your judgments.
109 My [e](N)life is continually [f]in my hand,
Yet I do not (O)forget Your Law.
110 The wicked have (P)set a [g]trap for me,
Yet I have not (Q)wandered from Your precepts.
