I will ponder your precepts and consider your paths.
One day toward evening he went out to walk in the field, and caught sight of camels approaching.
Rather, the law of the Lord is his joy; and on his law he meditates day and night.
Strengthen me that I may be safe, ever to contemplate your statutes.
I sigh with open mouth, yearning for your commandments.
My eyes greet the night watches as I meditate on your promise.
Though princes meet and talk against me, your servant meditates on your statutes.
I lift up my hands to your commandments; I study your statutes, which I love.
Then I will not be ashamed to ponder all your commandments.
Shame the proud for leading me astray with falsehood, that I may study your testimonies.
How I love your law, Lord! I study it all day long.
I have more insight than all my teachers, because I ponder your testimonies.
But the one who peers into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does.
