²⁴ Your testimonies are my ^(A)delight;
    they are my ^(B)counselors.

⁹² If your law had not been my ^(A)delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.

¹⁶ I will ^(A)delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.

^20 (A)My son, keep your father's commandment,
    ^(B)and forsake not your mother's teaching.
^21 (C)Bind them on your heart always;
    ^(D)tie them around your neck.
^22 (E)When you walk, they^[a] will lead you;
    ^(F)when you lie down, they will ^(G)watch over you;
    and when you awake, they will talk with you.
²³ For the commandment is ^(H)a lamp and the teaching a light,
    and the ^(I)reproofs of discipline are the way of life,

⁷⁷ Let your ^(A)mercy come to me, that I may live;
    for your law is my ^(B)delight.

¹¹ Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    ^(A)in keeping them there is great reward.

^10 (A)To whom shall I speak and give warning,
    that they may hear?
^(B)Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,
    ^(C)they cannot listen;
behold, ^(D)the word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn;
    they take no pleasure in it.
