Psalm 119 (Nun) Prayed


Psalm 119 (Nun) Prayed

N

   Never-failing Messiah,
              Your Word is a lamp to my feet
              and a light for my path.
   I have taken an oath and confirmed it,
              that I will follow your righteous ways.
   I have suffered much;
              preserve my life, O Jesus, according to your
              Word.
   Accept, O Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,
              and teach me the whole Bible.
   Though I constantly take my life in my hands,
              Let me not forget your Word.
    The wicked may set a snare for me,
              but do not let me stray from your precepts.
   The Scriptures are my heritage forever;
              they are the joy of my heart.
   Set my heart on keeping your decrees
              to the very end.



Psalm 119:105-112 (Nun)

105   Your word is a lamp to my feet
              and a light for my path.
106   I have taken an oath and confirmed it,
              that I will follow your righteous laws.
107   I have suffered much;
              preserve my life, O LORD, according to
              your word.
108   Accept, O LORD, the willing praise of my
              mouth,
              and teach me your laws.
109   Though I constantly take my life in my
              hands,
              I will not forget your law.
110   The wicked have set a snare for me,
              but I have not strayed from your precepts.
111   Your statutes are my heritage forever;
              they are the joy of my heart.
112   My heart is set on keeping your decrees
              to the very end.
