English Standard Version

Nun

¹⁰⁵^(A)Your word is a lamp to my feet

¹⁰⁶I have ^(B)sworn an oath and confirmed it,
    to keep your ^(C)righteous rules.
¹⁰⁷I am severely ^(D)afflicted;
    ^(E)give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
¹⁰⁸Accept ^(F)my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
    and ^(G)teach me your rules.
¹⁰⁹I hold my life ^(H)in my hand continually,
    but I do not ^(I)forget your law.
¹¹⁰The wicked have laid ^(J)a snare for me,
    but ^(K)I do not stray from your precepts.
¹¹¹Your testimonies are ^(L)my heritage forever,
    for they are ^(M)the joy of my heart.
¹¹²I ^(N)incline my heart to perform your statutes
    forever, ^(O)to the end.^[a]

    that I may ^(V)keep the commandments of my God.
¹¹⁶Uphold me ^(W)according to your promise, that I may live,
    and let me not be ^(X)put to shame in my ^(Y)hope!
¹¹⁷^(Z)Hold me up, that I may be safe
    and have regard for your statutes continually!
¹¹⁸You ^(AA)spurn all who ^(AB)go astray from your statutes,
    for their cunning is in vain.
¹¹⁹All the wicked of the earth you discard like ^(AC)dross,
    therefore ^(AD)I love your testimonies.

    and I am afraid of your judgments.

    and ^(AI)teach me your statutes.

    that I may know your testimonies!
¹²⁶It is time for the Lord to act,
    for your law has been broken.
¹²⁷Therefore I ^(AL)love your commandments
    above gold, above fine gold.

    I hate every ^(AM)false way.
