I want to reflect on your guiding principles and study your ways.
Toward evening Isaac went out into the field to meditate. When he looked up, he saw camels coming.
Rather, he delights in the teachings of the Lord and reflects on his teachings day and night.
Hold me, and I will be safe, and I will always respect your laws.
I open my mouth and pant because I long for your commandments.
My eyes are wide-open throughout the nighttime hours to reflect on your word.
Even though influential people plot against me, I reflect on your laws.
I lift my hands ⌞in prayer⌟ because of your commandments, which I love. I will reflect on your laws.
Then I will never feel ashamed when I study all your commandments.
Let arrogant people be put to shame because they lied about me, ⌞yet⌟ I reflect on your guiding principles.
Oh, how I love your teachings! They are in my thoughts all day long.
I have more insight than all my teachers, because your written instructions are in my thoughts.
However, the person who continues to study God’s perfect laws that make people free and who remains committed to them will be blessed. People like that don’t merely listen and forget; they actually do what God’s laws say.
