Thy Work Is to My Feet a Lamp

Verse 1

Thy word is to my feet a lamp, and to my path a light. I sworn have, and I will perform, to keep thy judgments right. I am with sore afflïction ev'n overwhelmed, O Lord: In mercy raise and quicken me, according to thy word.

Verse 2

The free-will-off'rings of my mouth accept, I thee beseech: And unto me thy servant, Lord, thy judgments 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.

Verse 3

I of thy testimonies have above all things made choice, To be my heritage for aye; for they my heart rejoice. I carefully inclinèd have my heart still to attend; That I thy statutes may perform alway unto the end.
