Scottish Psalter And Paraphrases

8,6,8,6

^105Thy word is to my feet a lamp,

and to my path a light.

^106I sworn have, and I will perform,

to keep thy judgments right.

^107I am with sore affliction

ev'n overwhelm'd, O Lord:

In mercy raise and quicken me,

according to thy word.

^108The free-will-off rings of my mouth

accept, I thee beseech:

And unto me thy servant, Lord,

thy judgments clearly teach.

^109Though still my soul be in my hand,

thy laws I'll not forget.

^110I err'd not from them, though for me

the wicked snares did set.

^111I of thy testimonies have

above all things made choice,

To be my heritage for aye;

for they my heart rejoice.

^112I carefully inclined have

my heart still to attend;

That I thy statutes may perform

alway unto the end.
