NƲN. The fourteenth part.

 [verse 105]  Even as a lantern to my feet,
so doth thy word shine bright:
And to my paths where-ere I go
it is a flaming light.
 [verse 106]  I have both sworn, and will perform
most certainly doubtless,
That I will keep thy judgements just,
and them in life express.

 [verse 107]  Affliction hath me sore opprest,
and brought me to deaths door:
O Lord, as thou hast promised,
so me to life restore,
 [verse 108]  The offrings which with heart and voice
most frankly I thee give,
Accept; and teach me how I may
after thy judgements live.

 [verse 109]  My soul is ay so in my hand,
that dangers me assail:
Yet do I not thy law forget,
nor it to keep will fail.
 [verse 110]  Although the wicked laid their nets
to catch me at a bay,
Yet did I not from thy precepts
once swerve or go astray.

 [verse 111]  Thy law I have so claim'd alway
as mine own heritage:
And why? for therein I delight,
and set my whole courage.
 [verse 112]  For ever more I have been bent
thy statutes to fulfil:
Even so likewise unto the end
I will continue still.
