Verses 97–104 of Psalm 119
The words
O LORD, how much I love your holy law! I meditate upon it all the day. It makes me wiser than my enemies, For your commandments ever with me stay.
I have more insight than my teachers have, For on your laws I meditate each day. I’ve more discernment than the elders have, Because your righteous precepts I obey.
I’ve kept my feet from every evil path, That I may be obedient to your word; And I have not departed from your laws, For you yourself have taught me this, O LORD.
How pleasing to my taste are all your words! More sweet they are than honey on my tongue. From your commands I gain enlightenment; So I reject and hate each path that’s wrong.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
