Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
Lord, it is when I follow Your rules that Your words are sweeter than honey in my mouth. I have to be reminded that when I am not obedient to You, Your words serve as a reminder of how sweet life could have been. Then that knowledge brings sorrow and repentance to my heart, then that understanding brings revulsion to my soul, then Your law serves to convict me of my errors and return my eyes to You. Then the honey returns to my mouth and I can again sing with that joy that comes from Your presence.
