Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me.
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
