Living In the Lamp of God's Word

Psalm 119:105-112 (NRSV) Your word is a lamp to my feet     and a light to my path.  I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,     to observe your righteous ordinances.  I am severely afflicted;     give me life, O Lord, according to your word.  Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord,     and teach me your ordinances.  I hold my life in my hand continually,     but I do not forget your law.  The wicked have laid a snare for me,     but I do not stray from your precepts.  Your decrees are my heritage forever;     they are the joy of my heart.  I incline my heart to perform your statute     forever, to the end.
