Berean Standard Bible
“The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.”
This verse is from the pe stanza of Psalm 119, in which the psalmist calls God's testimonies wonderful and longs for them with open mouth, like someone panting. The Hebrew letter pe can also mean mouth, which may explain some of the stanza's imagery.
