delight.
not forget.
 Thus the soul is fed in delight. But God's ways are held in respect, as authority to the mind. The heart goes with them too. It is not merely that they delight his soul, but there is the activity of the new man; he delights himself with them, he makes it the matter of his occupation, seeking his enjoyment there, and keeps it (oh! how needed it is) in memory, the true proof of affection. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:1-24 by J.N. Darby)
 Delights in them, and keeps them in mind (vs. 16). (Psalm 119:9-16: Division 2 (Beth) by H. Smith)
