Psalm 119:105-112 Your word is a lamp To my feet today, A light for my path To shine on my way. I’ve taken an oath. To it I’ll be true. Your righteous judgments And laws get me through. For I’ve suffered much So, preserve my life By Your holy word For I endured strife. Accept me, O Lord, My mouth’s willing praise And teach me Your laws. My hands to You raise. I constantly take My life in my hands. I will not forget Your laws and commands. The wicked have set A snare just for me. But I have not strayed. Your servant I’ll be. Your statutes are mine. They’ll never depart. My heritage sure, The joy of my heart. My heart is set on Keeping Your decrees To the very end. Lord, I want to please.
