Your word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.
God’s lamp shined on my head, and I walked through darkness by his light.
Lord, you give light to my lamp. My God brightens the darkness around me.
The orders of the Lord are right; they make people happy. The commands of the Lord are pure; they light up the way.
Send me your light and truth to guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to where you live.
These commands are like a lamp; this teaching is like a light. And the correction that comes from them will help you have life.
But the light makes all things easy to see,
This makes us more sure about the message the prophets gave. It is good for you to follow closely what they said as you would follow a light shining in a dark place, until the day begins and the morning star rises in your hearts.
