 [verse 105]  Thy heavenly word is to my feet a lamp that shineth bright;
And for direction of my path it is a glorious light.
 [verse 106]  Before thy presence I have sworne, and it performe I will;
That I will keep thy judgements just, and strive them to fulfill.

 [verse 107]  I am afflicted very much, but quicken me, O Lord;
And raise me to an holy life, according to thy word.
 [verse 108]  The offrings which with heart and voice to thee I freely give:
Accept, and teach me how I may after thy judgements live.

 [verse 109]  My soule is ever in mine hand, great dangers me beset;
Yet in my deepest troubles I thy law do not forget.
 [verse 110]  Although the wicked men for me a snare did closely lay;
Yet from thy precepts would I not for danger go astray.

 [verse 111]  I as an heritage do take thy testimonies still:
Because they are my hearts delight, with joy they do it fill.
 [verse 112]  Prevented by thy grace, my heart I did incline and bend;
Thy statutes alwaies to performe, and shall do to the end.
