I hold back my feet from every evil way,

in order to keep your word.

I do not turn aside from your rules,

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet

and a light for my path.

From your precepts I get understanding,

therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path.

Through thy precepts I get understanding:

Therefore I hate every false way.
