Psalm 119: Nun Lucerna pedibus meis
105   Your word is a lantern to my feet *
and a light upon my path. 
106   I have sworn and am determined *
to keep your righteous judgments. 
107   I am deeply troubled; *
preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word. 
108   Accept, O LORD, the willing tribute of my lips, *
and teach me your judgments. 
109   My life is always in my hand, *
yet I do not forget your law. 
110   The wicked have set a trap for me, *
but I have not strayed from your commandments. 
111   Your decrees are my inheritance for ever; *
truly, they are the joy of my heart. 
112   I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes *
for ever and to the end.


A Collect for Grace
O Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
