Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
it is at the word of your lips that I have kept myself from the ways of the lawless
(Some words not found in UHB: as_for,deeds humankind in/on/at/with,word lips,your I kept ways violent )
Here “the word of your lips” is a metonym for God’s instruction, and “the ways of the lawless” is a metaphor for the things that lawless people do. Alternate translation: “it is by obeying your instruction that I have kept myself from doing the things that lawless people do” or “your instruction has caused me to avoid doing wicked things” (See also: figs-metaphor)
