The rulers meet and plot against me, but I will study your teachings.

I respect and love your commandments; I will meditate on your instructions.

May the proud be ashamed for falsely accusing me; as for me, I will meditate on your instructions.

How I love your law! I think about it all day long.

In my desire for your commands I pant with open mouth.

All night long I lie awake, to meditate on your instructions.

Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the LORD, and they study it day and night.

But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice---you will be blessed by God in what you do.

If I pay attention to all your commands, then I will not be put to shame.

Hold me, and I will be safe, and I will always pay attention to your commands.
