Lucerna pedibus meisBCP p. 772105Your word is a lantern to my feet *and a light upon my path.
106I have sworn and am determined *to keep your righteous judgments.
107I am deeply troubled; *preserve my life, O Lord, according to your word.
108Accept, O Lord, the willing tribute of my lips, *and teach me your judgments.
109My life is always in my hand, *yet I do not forget your law.
110The wicked have set a trap for me, *but I have not strayed from your commandments.

Levavi oculumBCP p. 7791I lift up my eyes to the hills; *from where is my help to come?
2My help comes from the Lord, *the maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not let your foot be moved *and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.
4Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel *shall neither slumber nor sleep;
5The Lord himself watches over you; *the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
6So that the sun shall not strike you by day, *nor the moon by night.
7The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; *it is he who shall keep you safe.
8The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, *from this time forth for evermore.

In convertendoBCP p. 7821When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, *then were we like those who dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *and our tongue with shouts of joy.
3Then they said among the nations, *“The Lord has done great things for them.”
4The Lord has done great things for us, *and we are glad indeed.
5Restore our fortunes, O Lord, *like the watercourses of the Negev.
6Those who sowed with tears *will reap with songs of joy.
7Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
