Psalm 119:105-112
New King James Version
נ NUN
105 (A)Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 (B)I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, (C)the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your judgments.
109 (D)My life is continually [a]in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
110 (E)The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 (F)Your testimonies I have taken as a [b]heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.

The Message
105-112 By your words I can see where I’m going;
they throw a beam of light on my dark path.
I’ve committed myself and I’ll never turn back
from living by your righteous order.
Everything’s falling apart on me, God;
put me together again with your Word.
Adorn me with your finest sayings, God;
teach me your holy rules.
My life is as close as my own hands,
but I don’t forget what you have revealed.
The wicked do their best to throw me off track,
but I don’t swerve an inch from your course.
I inherited your book on living; it’s mine forever—
what a gift! And how happy it makes me!
I concentrate on doing exactly what you say—
I always have and always will.
