119:105-112a. Thy Word Is to My Feet a Lamp

1 Thy Word is to my feet a lamp,
and to my path a light.
I sworn have, and I will perform,
to keep Thy judgments right.

2 I am with sore affliction
ev'n overwhelmed, O LORD:
In mercy raise and quicken me,
according to Thy Word.

3 The free-will-off'rings of my mouth
accept, I Thee beseech:
And unto me Thy servant, LORD,
Thy judgments clearly teach.

4 Though still my soul be in my hand,
Thy laws I'll not forget.
I erred not from them, though for me
the wicked snares did set.

5 I of Thy testimonies have
above all things made choice,
To be my heritage for aye;
for they my heart rejoice.

6 I carefully inclined have
my heart still to attend;
That I Thy statutes may perform
always unto the end.
