Psalm 119:105-112; 129-136 | Light Unto My Path | December 21, 2024
Psalm 119:105-112, 129-136
(105) [Nun] Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (106) I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules. (107) I am severely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to your word! (108) Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me your rules. (109) I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget your law. (110) The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from your precepts. (111) Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart. (112) I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.
(129) [Pe] Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. (130) The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. (131) I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments. (132) Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love your name. (133) Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me. (134) Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep your precepts. (135) Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. (136) My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.
