Psalms 119:104-112

104From your guiding principles I gain understanding. That is why I hate every path that leads to lying.

105Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.

106I took an oath, and I will keep it. I took an oath to follow your regulations, which are based on your righteousness.

107I have suffered so much. Give me a new life, O Lord, as you promised.

108Please accept the praise I gladly give you, O Lord, and teach me your regulations.

109I always take my life into my own hands, but I never forget your teachings.

110Wicked people have set a trap for me, but I have never wandered away from your guiding principles.

111Your written instructions are mine forever. They are the joy of my heart.

112I have decided to obey your laws. They offer a reward that never ends.
