English text

Thy word is a lantern unto my feet: and a light unto my paths.

I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed to keep thy righteous judgements.

I am troubled above measure: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word.

The ungodly have laid a snare for me: but yet I swerved not from thy commandments.

Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever:

and why? they are the very joy of my heart.

Hallelujah

Psalm 119: 105-108, 110, 111
