and make me wiser than my
enemies.

for I meditate on your statutes.

elders,
for I obey your precepts. I have kept
my feet from every evil path
so that I might obey your word. I
have not departed from your laws,
for you yourself have taught me.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a

kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall
be an excellent oil, which shall not break
my head: for yet my prayer also shall be
in their calamities.

do not forget my words or turn away
from them.
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will
protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
The beginning of wisdom is this:
Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get
understanding.
Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.
She will give you a garland to grace your
head
and present you with a glorious
crown.

or walk in the way of evildoers.
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
