thy word is

Thy word is to my feet a lamp,

and to my path a light.

I sworn have, and I will perform,

to keep Thy judgements right.




I am with sore affliction

even overwhelmed, O Lord:

In mercy raise and quicken me,

according to Thy word.




The free-will-offerings of my mouth

accept, I Thee beseech:

and unto me Thy servant, Lord,

Thy judgements clearly teach.




Though still my soul be in my hand,

Thy laws I‟ll not forget.

I erred not from them, though for me

the wicked snares did set.




I of Thy testimonies have

above all things made choice,

to be my heritage for aye;

for they my heart rejoice.




I carefully inclined have

my heart still to attend;

that I Thy statutes may perform

alway unto the end.
