I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct.

Obey them faithfully, and this will show the people of other nations how wise you are. When they hear of all these laws, they will say, 'What wisdom and understanding this great nation has!'

No other nation, no matter how great, has laws so just as those that I have taught you today.

David was successful in all the missions on which Saul sent him, and so Saul made him an officer in his army. This pleased all of Saul's officers and men.

and was successful in all he did, because the LORD was with him.

The Philistine armies would come and fight, but in every battle David was more successful than any of Saul's other officers. As a result David became very famous.

It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from him come knowledge and understanding.

Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.

I keep your law in my heart, so that I will not sin against you.

I have chosen to be obedient; I have paid attention to your judgments.

Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.

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.
