96 To all perfection I see a limit,
    but your commands are boundless.(A)

מ Mem

97 Oh, how I love your law!(B)
    I meditate(C) on it all day long.
98 Your commands are always with me
    and make me wiser(D) than my enemies.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
    for I meditate on your statutes.(E)
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
    for I obey your precepts.(F)
101 I have kept my feet(G) from every evil path
    so that I might obey your word.(H)
102 I have not departed from your laws,(I)
    for you yourself have taught(J) me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey(K) to my mouth!(L)
104 I gain understanding(M) from your precepts;
    therefore I hate every wrong path.(N)

105 Your word is a lamp(O) for my feet,
    a light(P) on my path.
