A wise[ man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.
