[verse 105] Euen as a lanterne to my fete, so doth thy word shine bryght:And to my pathes, where euer I go, it is a flamyng lyght. [verse 106] I haue both sworne and will perform, most certenly doubtles:That I will kepe thy iudgments iust and them in lyfe expres.
[verse 107] Affliction hath me sore oppressed, and brought me to deathes dore:O Lorde as thou hast promised, so me to lyfe restore. [verse 108]
descriptionPage 317
The offrings which with hart & voyce most frankly I thee geue:Accept, and teache me how I may, after thy iudgements lyue.
[verse 109] My soule is aye so in my hande, that daungers it assayle:yet doo I not thy law forget, nor it to kepe will fayle, [verse 110] Although the wicked layd their nets, to catche me at a bray:yet did I not from thy precepts, once swerue or go astray.
[verse 111] Thy lawe I haue so claymed alway, as mine owne heritage:And why? for therin I delyte, and set my whole courage. [verse 112] For euermore I haue ben bent, thy statutes to fullfill:Euen so lyke wyse vnto the ende, I will continue styll.
