Thy Word sheds light upon my path;
A shin­ing light, it guides my feet;
Thy right­eous judg­ments to ob­serve
My so­lemn vow I now re­peat.

In my dis­tress I plead with Thee,
Send help ac­cord­ing to Thy Word;
Accept my sac­ri­fice of praise
And make me know Thy judg­ments, Lord.

In dan­ger oft and nigh to death,
Thy law re­mem­bered is my aid;
The wick­ed seek my ov­er­throw,
Yet from Thy truth I have not strayed.

Thy pre­cepts are my he­rit­age,
For dai­ly they my heart re­joice;
To keep Thy sta­tutes faith­ful­ly
Shall ev­er be my will­ing choice.
