Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
