Your word is a lantern to my feet *

and a light upon my path.

I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed *

to keep your righteous judgments.

I am troubled above measure; *

revive me, O Lord, according to your word.

Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord, *

and teach me your judgments.

My life is always in my hand, *

yet I do not forget your law.

The ungodly have laid a snare for me, *

yet I have not strayed from your commandments.

Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever, *

and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always, *

even unto the end.

I hate those who are double-minded, *

but your law do I love.

You are my defense and shield, *

and my trust is in your word.

Away from me, you wicked. *

I will keep the commandments of my God.

Establish me according to your word, that I may live, *

and let me not be disappointed in my hope.

Hold me up, and I shall be safe; *

indeed, my delight shall be ever in your statutes.

You have trodden down all those who depart from your statutes, *

for they only imagine deceit.

You put away all the ungodly of the earth like dross; *

therefore I love your testimonies.

My flesh trembles for fear of you, *

and I am afraid of your judgments.

I have done that which is lawful and right; *

O give me not over to my oppressors.

Be surety for your servant’s good, *

O let not the arrogant oppress me.

My eyes have wasted away with looking for your salvation, *

and for the word of your righteousness.

O deal with your servant according to your loving mercy, *

and teach me your statutes.

I am your servant; O grant me understanding, *

that I may know your testimonies.

It is time for you, O Lord, to act, *

for they have broken your law.

For I love your commandments above all things, *

more than gold and precious stones.

Therefore I hold all your commandments to be right, *

and all false ways I utterly abhor.
