In verse 98 stated the benefit he being wiser than his enemies because he embraced God's law. In verse 99 he goes on even further in saying he has more understanding than his teachers. This could mean those who may instructed him in his youth, however, he is finding himself approved,a workman who is not ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The simple reason for this would be the invested time David had spent meditating in God's word. Anyone may go there, but there are few willing to pay the price for such a thing. To fall in love with the word is to fall in love with the Author, and when that happens there will be no end to your investment of time to it.
