This is the thirteenth section of psalm 119.
In the original Hebrew each stanza of this section begins with the letter mem מ. Ted Donnelly, as a teacher, used to pray that his students would have more insight than he had.

PSALM 119 (13) 10 10 10 10

97 O LORD, how much I love your holy law!
I meditate upon it all the day.
98 It makes me wiser than my enemies,
For your commandments ever with me stay.

99 I have more insight than my teachers have,
For on your laws I meditate each day.
100 I’ve more discernment than the elders have,
Because your righteous precepts I obey.

101 I’ve kept my feet from every evil path,
That I may be obedient to your word;
102 And I have not departed from your laws,
For you yourself have taught me this, O LORD.

103 How pleasing to my taste are all your words!
More sweet they are than honey on my tongue.
104 From your commands I gain enlightenment;
So I reject and hate each path that’s wrong.
