Having turned his focus on the Lord in the last section, he now realises his true strength. It is only when we turn to the Lord that we find salvation and find who we truly are. Our identity is found only in Christ.
David loves the Law (the word of God) and meditates on it all the time. This does not mean he does nothing else, or has become a monk! Rather it means it is uppermost in our minds at all times.
This makes us wiser than our enemies. The word of God gives true wisdom.
It makes us wiser not just than our enemies, but also our teachers. Now this is not a ground for being arrogant, but it is the word of God that makes us truly wise. We can listen to the best sermons, read the greatest books, but it is when we understand the word ourselves that we become truly wise. Books and sermons and teachings will help us in this, but it is our personal understanding that is key.
See that obedience of God's precepts is the sign of true understanding, it is also the key to even more understanding. As we do the word, we will understand it better.
As well as positively doing God's word, we need to shun evil in all its forms.
God's word is sweet to taste and brings delight to the soul.
