God's Light and Truth
Commentators explain that "light" refers to God's divine favor and presence, while "truth" signifies His faithfulness to His promises. The psalmist, feeling lost in darkness, prays for these two qualities to be sent out like personal guides. Charles Ellicott even pictures them as "two angel guides" sent to bring the believer back to safety and worship.
