Your word is a lantern to my feet :
 and a light to my path.
I have vowed and sworn an oath :
 to keep your righteous judgements.
I have been afflicted beyond measure :
 Lord, give me life according to your word.
Accept, O Lord, the freewill offerings of my mouth :
 and teach me your judgements.
I take my life in my hands continually :
 yet I do not forget your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me :
 but I have not strayed from your precepts.
Your commands are my inheritance for ever :
 they are the joy of my heart.
I have set my heart to fulfil your statutes :
 always, even to the end.
I loathe those who are double-minded :
 but your law do I love.
You are my shelter and my shield :
 and in your word is my hope.
Away from me, all you that do evil :
 I will keep the commandments of my God.
Be my stay, according to your word, that I may live :
 and do not disappoint me in my hope.
Hold me up, and I shall be safe :
 and I will ever delight in your statutes.
You scorn all those who swerve from your statutes :
 for their calumnies against me are lies;
All the ungodly of the earth you count as dross :
 therefore I love your commands.
My flesh shrinks for fear of you :
 and I am afraid of your judgements.
I have done what is just and right :
 O do not give me over to my oppressors.
Stand surety for your servant’s good :
 let not the proud oppress me.
My eyes fail with watching for your salvation :
 for the fulfilment of your righteous word.
O deal with your servant according to your loving mercy :
 and teach me your statutes.
I am your servant, O give me understanding :
 that I may know your commands.
It is time for the Lord to act :
 for they violate your law.
Therefore I love your commandments :
 more than gold, more than the finest gold;
Therefore I straighten my paths by all your precepts :
 and I hate all lying ways.
