12. Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.
13. With my lips have I declared and recounted all the ordinances of Your mouth.
14. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches.
15. I will meditate on Your precepts and have respect to Your ways [the paths of life marked out by Your law]. [Ps. 104:34.]
16. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
17. Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live; and I will observe Your word [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it]. [Ps. 119:97-101.]
