I am afflicted very much:
quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.Accept, I beseech thee,
the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
and teach me thy judgments.Thy testimonies have I taken
as an heritage for ever:
for they are the rejoicing of my heart.Psalm 119:105-112

yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
And then the understanding that comes from God’s Word:
Thou through thy commandments
hast made me wiser….I have more understanding…
for thy testimonies are my meditation.I understand more…
because I keep thy precepts.Through thy precepts I get understanding….
