105

Thy word is to my feet a lamp,

 

 

and to my path a light.

106

I sworn have, and I will perform,

 

 

to keep thy judgments right.

107

I am with sore affliction

 

 

ev’n overwhelm’d, O Lord:

 

In mercy raise and quicken me,

 

 

according to thy word.

 

108

The free-will-off’rings of my mouth

 

 

accept, I thee beseech:

 

And unto me thy servant, Lord,

 

 

thy judgments clearly teach.

109

Though still my soul be in my hand,

 

 

thy laws I’ll not forget.

110

I err’d not from them, though for me

 

 

the wicked snares did set.

 

111

I of thy testimonies have

 

 

above all things made choice,

 

To be my heritage for aye;

 

 

for they my heart rejoice.

112

I carefully inclined have

 

 

my heart still to attend;

 

That I thy statutes may perform

 

 

alway unto the end.
