1 Blessed is the man*

who *walks not in *the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in *the way of sinners,

nor *sits in *the seat of *scoffers;

2 but his *delight is in the law* of the Lord,

and on his *law he meditates day and night.

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but *you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

97 Oh how *I love your law!

It is my *meditation all the day.

98 Your commandment makes me *wiser than my enemies,

for it is ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,

for *your testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than *the aged,*

for I *keep your precepts.

15 I will *meditate on your precepts

and fix my eyes on your *ways.

16 I will *delight in your statutes;

I will not forget your word.

Gimel

47 for I *find my delight in your commandments,

which I love.

48 I will *lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,

and I will *meditate on your statutes.

Zayin

147 I rise before *dawn and cry for help;

I *hope in your words.

148 My eyes are awake before *the watches of the night,

that I may meditate on your promise.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight,

O Lord, my *rock and my *redeemer.

3 My mouth shall speak *wisdom;

the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will *remember your wonders of old.

12 I will ponder all your *work,

and meditate on your *mighty deeds.

5 *I remember the days of old;

*I meditate on all that you have done;

I ponder the work of your hands.

9 We have thought on your *steadfast love, O God,

in the midst of your temple.

33 I will sing to the Lord*as long as I live;

I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

34 May my *meditation be pleasing to him,

for I rejoice in the Lord.
