What does Psalms 119:97-104 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The psalmist loved God"s law because it gave him more wisdom than his enemies, his teachers, and the elderly sages who did not have it ( Psalm 119:97-100). It had enabled him to maintain his personal purity ( Psalm 119:101-102, cf. Psalm 119:9; Psalm 119:104). God"s promises were particularly sweet to him ( Psalm 119:103).
"While God"s truth is food for our souls, it is not a "buffet" from which we select only the things we like." [1]
