105–112By your words I can see where I’m going;

they throw a beam of light on my dark path.

I’ve committed myself and I’ll never turn back

from living by your righteous order.

Everything’s falling apart on me, God;

put me together again with your Word.

Festoon me with your finest sayings, God;

teach me your holy rules.

My life is as close as my own hands,

but I don’t forget what you have revealed.

The wicked do their best to throw me off track,

but I don’t swerve an inch from your course.

I inherited your book on living; it’s mine forever—

what a gift! And how happy it makes me!

I concentrate on doing exactly what you say—

I always have and always will.

Read in Logos
Psalm 119:105: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path.

I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,

to keep your righteous rules.

I am severely afflicted;

give me life, O Lord, according to your word!

Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,

and teach me your rules.

I hold my life in my hand continually,

but I do not forget your law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me,

but I do not stray from your precepts.

Your testimonies are my heritage forever,

for they are the joy of my heart.

I incline my heart to perform your statutes

forever, to the end.

preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,

and teach me your laws.

Though I constantly take my life in my hands,

I will not forget your law.

The wicked have set a snare for me,

but I have not strayed from your precepts.

Your statutes are my heritage forever;

they are the joy of my heart.

My heart is set on keeping your decrees

to the very end.

forever, to the end.

KJV 1900King James Version

NUN.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

And a light unto my path.

I have sworn, and I will perform it,

That I will keep thy righteous judgments.

I am afflicted very much:

Quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.

Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,

And teach me thy judgments.

My soul is continually in my hand:

Yet do I not forget thy law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me:

Yet I erred not from thy precepts.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:

For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes

Alway, even unto the end.
