Psalms 119:104-111 NUN
Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
(105) Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
(106) I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
(107) I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.
(108) Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
And teach me Your judgments.
(109) My life is continually in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
(110) The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
(111) Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

This section of Psalms 119 contains my most used reference to following God, knowing how to live, and which way to go. When the way gets dark, His Word lightens my path.
(105) Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
I felt the understanding of this to show His Word lightens where I am and the step I’m about to take, as well as shining the way clearly down the road. His Word is “here” and “there.”
Psalms 119 Explanation: Psalms 119 is the longest chapter in the bible. But remember. Psalms contain individual writings from multiple sources, so each “chapter” is like an eBook. Most psalms are better read as one would a poem. Break the chapter into small subsections of a sentence, and you’ll get the idea.
B.C. 444, This Psalm, which was probably composed by Ezra, is another of the alphabetical Psalms. It consists of twenty-two parts, answering to the number of the Hebrew letters, every part being divided into eight verses, and each verse beginning with that letter which forms the title of the part; that is, the first part of eight verses with א, the second with ב, etc. It is an elegant, important, and useful composition, the chief subjects of which are the excellence of God’s laws and the happiness of those who observe them.
Each psalm references God’s Word using many phrases and words:
Law, Testimonies, Precepts, Commandments, Statues, etc.
