Psalm 119: 89-176

Throughout, moreover, the singer reveals his conception of the value of this great will, both in itself and in its revelation, and utters words showing his determination to be obedient thereto combined with constant prayer to enable him to do so. This attitude is supremely revealed in his declaration:

"Oh how love I Thy law!

It is my meditation all the day" (Psalms 119:97).

His sense of the value of this revealed will of God is perhaps most clearly shown in the words: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet And light unto my path" (Psalms 119:105).

The lamp for the feet is that which illumines the immediate pathway, and the light for the path is that which reveals the general direction.
