Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
The verse urges receiving law and instruction directly from God's mouth and laying up and keeping His words in the heart. That receiving and keeping belongs to becoming acquainted with God and truly knowing Him. Such acquaintance brings peace. It also brings good.
Knowing Him in this way leads to delighting in God. It leads to praying with confidence that He hears. It leads to trusting Him to guide and to save the humble.
