Word and statutes of God

The Psalmist finds joy in keeping God’s statutes and highlights God’s word as a lamp to his feet and a light for his path. Psalm 119:105.

He trusted God’s promises; compared them to honey vs 103.

He hated double-mind men…vs 113.

He meditated on God’s laws vs 97-99; they make him wiser than his enemies vs 98.

Psalms 119:91-105
[91]All things remain to this day because of your command, because they are all your servants.
[92]If your law had not been the source of my joy,  I would have died from my sufferings.
[93]I will never neglect your instructions,     because by them you have kept me alive.
[94]I am yours — save me!  I have tried to obey your commands.
[95]The wicked are waiting to kill me, but I will meditate on your laws.
[96]I have learnt that everything has limits; but your commandment is perfect.
[97]How I love your law! I think about it all day long.
[98]Your commandment is with me all the time     and makes me wiser than my enemies.
[99]I understand more than all my teachers,     because I meditate on your instructions.
[100]I have greater wisdom than those who are old, because I obey your commands.
[101]I have avoided all evil conduct, because I want to obey your word.
[102]I have not neglected your instructions, for you yourself are my teacher.
[103]How sweet is the taste of your instructions — sweeter even than honey!
[104]I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct.
[105]Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.
