THE PARAPHRASIS. Octo. XIIII.
105 WHerefore that thy word hath bene and shal be like a torch shining before me as I go, and as a light shewing my path vnto me.
106 For so haue I sworne, euen by an oth, that I would doe, and that I would keepe thy most iust lawes, the which thing I wil perfourme in deede.
107 And thou againe, ô Lord, keepe me safe which am maruellouslie vexed, as thy word promiseth.
108 O Lord, let the vowes and free promises of my mouth be accepted of thee, and teach me thy lawes more and more.
109 Behold, my life is exposed to al casualties, as though I did carrie it in my hand: yet haue not I forgotten thy lawe.
110 The wicked haue laid snares for me, yet haue not I wandered from thy precepts.
111 Those things that thou hast testified vnto vs, are in the stead of an euerlasting inheritance that can neuer be alienate, neither doe I take anie plea∣sure anie-where, but of them onelie.
112 Finalie, I haue bound my whole hart for euer, euen to my last gaspe, to obserue thy statutes.
