Mem
| 1. O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. | 1. What do I? O, I'm loyal to thy divine ways all the time. |
| 2. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. | 2. Where harm menaces him, the mature man met woe; he has the testimony of God's every truth in mind. |
| 3. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. | 3. O, master! I dream in thy faith; I envisage doctrine that my human mentors really don't see. |
| 4. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. | 4. Past authority can be a mind's sin pretence; hence seek deep truth. |
| 5. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. | 5. Fie to depraved infamy! I leave. Why? very meek, worthy, I'm after the right. |
| 6. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. | 6. My favoured thing's a just path; he, that God of truth, mentored me. |
| 7. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! | 7. Meet woe? Thy way out, and why the heart rests: the two are synonymous to me. |
| 8. Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. | 8. Despite fates anywhere, thy nice truth helps to guage and fight every error. |
