But my heart stands in [reverent] awe of Your words [so I can expect You to help me].

As one who finds great treasure.

But I love Your law.

Because of Your righteous ordinances.

Those who love Your law have great peace;
Nothing makes them stumble.

And I do Your commandments.

For all my ways are [fully known] before You.
This long Psalm (176 verses) consists of separate units, each of which has its first word beginning with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet as a memory aid. The first verse begins with the first letter of the alphabet, aleph (first letter of the word blessed), and the last unit of the Psalm (vv 169-176) begins with tav, the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
