Orationem : Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

Lyrics


1. REVIVE ME IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes.
I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law.
Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
Direct me in the path of your commandments,
For I delight in them.
Turn my heart toward your statutes,
Not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
Revive me in your ways.
Fulfill your promise to your servant,
That you may be feared.
Take away my disgrace that I dread,
For your ordinances are good.
Behold, I long for your precepts!
Revive me in your righteousness.


2. I WILL MEDITATE ON YOUR STATUTES

Let your loving kindness also come to me, Yahweh,
Your salvation, according to your Word.
So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in your word.
Don't snatch the word of truth out of my mouth,
For I put my hope in your ordinances.
So I will obey your law continually,
Forever and ever.
I will walk in liberty,
For I have sought your precepts.
I will also speak of your statutes before kings,
And will not be disappointed.
I will delight myself in your commandments,
Because I love them.
I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love.
I will meditate on your statutes.


3. THIS IS MY COMFORT IN MY AFFLICTION

Remember your word to your servant,
Because you gave me hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
For your word has revived me.
The arrogant mock me excessively,
But I don't swerve from your law.
I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh,
And have comforted myself.
Indignation has taken hold of me,
Because of the wicked who forsake your law.
Your statutes have been my songs,
In the house where I live.
I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night,
And I obey your law.
This is my way,
That I keep your precepts.


4. TO OBEY YOUR COMMANDMENTS

Yahweh is my portion.
I promised to obey your words.
I sought your favor with my whole heart.
Be merciful to me according to your word.
I considered my ways,
And turned my steps to your statutes.
I will hurry, and not delay.
To obey your commandments.
The ropes of the wicked bind me,
But I won't forget your law.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you,
Because of your righteous ordinances.
I am a friend of all those who fear you,
Of those who observe your precepts.
The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh.
Teach me your statutes.


5. FOR YOUR LAW IS MY DELIGHT

Your hands have made me and formed me.
Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Those who fear you will see me and be glad,
Because I have put my hope in your word.
Yahweh, I know that your judgements are righteous,
That in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort,
According to your word to your servant.
Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For your law is my delight
Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully.
I will meditate on your precepts.
Let those who fear you turn to me.
They will know your statutes.
Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees,
That I may not be disappointed.


6. YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET

Your word is a lamp to my feet,
And a light for my path.
I have sworn, and have confirmed it,
That I will obey your righteous ordinances.
I am afflicted very much.
Revive me, Yahweh, according to your word.
Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth.
Yahweh, teach me your ordinances.
My soul is continually in my hand,
Yet I won't forget your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I haven't gone astray from your precepts.
I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever,
Even to the end.


7. TURN TO ME, AND HAVE MERCY ON ME

Your testimonies are wonderful,
Therefore my soul keeps them.
The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple.
I opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for your commandments.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
As you always do to those who love your name.
Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me.
Redeem me from the oppression of man,
So I will observe your precepts.
Make your face shine on your servant.
Teach me your statutes.
Streams of tears run down my eyes,
Because they don't observe your law.


8. YOUR LAW IS TRUTH

You are righteous, Yahweh.
Your judgements are upright.
You have commanded your statutes in righteousness.
They are fully trustworthy.
My zeal wears me out,
Because my enemies ignore you words.
Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
And your servant loves them.
I am small and despised.
I don't forget your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness.
Your law is truth.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me.
Your commandments are my delight.
Your testimonies are righteous forever.
Give me understanding, that I may live.


9. I PUT MY HOPE IN YOUR WORDS

I have called with my whole heart.
Answer me, Yahweh!
I will keep your statutes.
I have called to you. Save me!
I will obey your statutes.
I rise before dawn and cry for help.
I put my hope in your words.
My eyes stay open through the night watches,
That I might meditate on your word.
Hear my voice according to your loving kindness.
Revive me, Yahweh, according to your ordinances.
They draw near who follow after wickedness.
They are far from your law.
You are near, Yahweh.
All your commandments are truth.
Of old I have known from your testimonies,
That you have founded them forever.


10. LET MY SOUL LIVE, THAT I MAY PRAISE YOU

Let my cry come before you, Yahweh.
Give me understanding according to your word.
Let my supplication come before you.
Deliver me according to your word.
Let my lips utter praise,
For you teach me your statutes.
Let my tongue sing of your word,
For all your commandments are righteousness.
Let your hand be ready to help me,
For I have chosen your precepts.
I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh.
Your law is my delight.
Let my soul live, that I may praise you.
Let your ordinances help me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep.
Seek your servant, for I don't forget your commandments.
