Your words are a lamp to my feet, * and a light on my path.

I have sworn and will keep on * keeping your just decrees.

My suffering has reached Calamity; * Yahweh, preserve me according to your word.

Favor me, Yahweh, with gracious words from your mouth, * and teach me your rules.

My life is in your eternal hands; * so I do not forget your law.

The wicked have set a trap for me; * but I do not stray from your precepts.

Your terms are my heritage, O Eternal; * yes, they are the joy of my heart.

I turned my heart * to carry out your commands; * my reward will be everlasting.
