I, your servant, understand. Don't say, "I didn't know," because the book is before you to read and learn from. As it says in Isaiah 29:12, "The book is given to him that is not learned, saying, 'Read this, I pray thee;' and he saith, 'I am not learned.'" Therefore, David said, "I am your servant; give me understanding" (Psalm 119:125).

Now is the time to do for God; violate your Torah. Who says, "I will study when I have time"? Rather, every moment, strive to do it. God said, "Don't say that; rather, delve into the verses and analyze them.

Violate your Torah for now is the time to do for God." If you see a generation that abandons the Torah and lets go of it, immediately it will be forgotten. Therefore, it says, "Now is the time to do for God." Therefore I love Your commandments, etc. So said David, "I love Your Torah more than all gold and precious stones."

Why? Because wealth and gold will not stand on the day of judgment. And so it says (Ezekiel 7:19), "They shall cast their silver into the streets, and their gold shall become an abhorrence. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to save them."

And it also says (Proverbs 11:4), "Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath." Even if one's judgment leads to death, the Torah that he studied will revive his soul, as it says, "The Torah of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul." David said, "For your sake I did not love the Torah, as it says, 'Therefore I love Your commandments.' Therefore, I have observed all Your precepts."

What does it mean "I have observed all Your precepts"? The word "yesharim" (meaning "upright") is a Hebrew word. When one person tells another "enlighten me," he says "ha'er li." So David said, "I have observed all Your precepts and I have also enlightened them for my children, and You enlighten me." And it also says, "For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light."
