101
I watch my step, avoiding the ditches and ruts of evil so I can spend all my time keeping your Word.
102
I never make detours from the route you laid out; you gave me such good directions.
103
Your words are so choice, so tasty; I prefer them to the best home cooking.
104
With your instruction, I understand life; that's why I hate false propaganda.
105
By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path.
