Psalm 119 v.105-112

********

Your word is a lamp unto

My feet, the way forth I view

And to my path it a light

Will guide me with your insight

 

I have sworn, and will perform

And will keep through calm and storm

Your righteous judgements though i

Am afflicted, to you cry

 

Revive me, LORD, according

To your word, and I will sing

Melodies unto you sweet

Bring them humbly to your feet

 

Accept, LORD, I beseech you

My offerings here anew

From my mouth, I speak and sing

And unto you do them bring

 

O LORD, teach me your judgements

I do need your wisdom, sense

My life is in danger here

Come to me, to me appear

 

Yet I not forget your law

It is my rejoicing sure

The wicked traps for me laid

Yet I strayed not, not dismayed

 

Your testimonies have I

Taken as heritage, nigh

They be to me, and they be

The joy of my heart, true, free

 

I have too my heart inclined

Unto you, your ways to find

And to perform your statutes

To the end, with no refutes
