MEM
Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.
Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are my constant guide.
Yes, I have more insight than my teachers,
for I am always thinking of your laws.
I am even wiser than my elders,
for I have kept your commandments.
I have refused to walk on any evil path,
so that I remain obedient to your word.
I haven't turned away from your regulations,
for you have taught me well.
How sweet your words taste to me;
they are sweeter than honey.
Your commandments give me understanding;
no wonder I hate every false way of life.
I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I remain obedient to your word.
Proverbs 1:15
My child, don't go along with them!
Stay far away from their paths. (see Proverbs 1:10-19)
Psalm 1:1-2
Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join with mockers.
But they delight in the law of the LORD,
meditating on it day and night. (see all Psalm 1)
Proverbs 4:14-16
Don't do as the wicked do,
and don't follow the path of evildoers.
Don't even think about it; don't go that way.
Turn away and keep moving.
For evil people can't sleep until they've done their evil deed for the day.
They can't rest until they've caused someone to stumble.
(see Proverbs 4:14-27)
