נ NUN. The 14. part.

Thy word is to my feet a lamp,Line 105 
and to my path a light.
I sworn have, and I will perform,Line 106 
to keep thy judgements right.
I am with sore afflictionLine 107 
ev'n overwhelm'd, O Lord:
In mercy raise, and quicken me,
according to thy word.

The free-will offrings of my mouthLine 108 
accept, I thee beseech:
And unto me thy servant, Lord,
thy judgements clearly teach.
Though still my soul be in my hand,Line 109 
thy Laws I'le not forget.
I err'd not from them, though for meLine 110 
the wicked snares did set.

I of thy testimonies haveLine 111 
above all things made choice,
To be my heritage for ay,
for they my Heart rejoice.
I carefully inclined haveLine 112 
my heart, still to attend,
That I thy statures may perform
alway unto the end.
