242. Thy Word Sheds Light Upon My Path

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 Thy precepts are my heritage,
for daily they my heart rejoice;
to keep Thy statutes faithfully
shall ever be my willing choice.
