מ (Mem)

97 I really love your instructions—

I spend all day meditating on them.

98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,

because I’m always aware of them.

99 I understand more than my teachers do

because I meditate on what you’ve revealed.

100 I understand more than the elders do

because I’ve followed your principles.

101 I’ve avoided all evil behaviour

so that I can obey what you’ve said.

102 I haven’t deviated from your regulations,

because you yourself have taught me.

103 Your promises are sweet to my taste,

yes, even sweeter than honey on my tongue.

104 I gain understanding through your principles

so I hate all the different ways that people deceive others.
