Mazmur 119:105-112

נ (Nun)

119:105 Your word ¹  is a lamp to walk by,

and a light to illumine my path. ² 

119:106 I have vowed and solemnly sworn

to keep your just regulations.

119:107 I am suffering terribly.

O Lord, revive me with your word! ³ 

119:108 O Lord, please accept the freewill offerings of my praise! ⁴ 

Teach me your regulations!

119:109 My life is in continual danger, ⁵ 

but I do not forget your law.

119:110 The wicked lay a trap for me,

but I do not wander from your precepts.

119:111 I claim your rules as my permanent possession,

for they give me joy. ⁶ 

119:112 I am determined to obey ⁷  your statutes

at all times, to the very end.
