What is the context?
The speaker loves and meditates on God’s law. He describes insight beyond enemies, teachers, and elders because the testimonies remain before him and he obeys.
Keeping from evil paths and receiving God’s teaching make the boast concrete. The word is tasted as sweeter than honey.
The contrast values lived understanding, not contempt for every teacher or older person. It should not be used to make an individual’s untested opinion immune from correction.
