Psalm 119105

Psalm 119:105 is a well-known verse from the Hebrew Bible, specifically from Tehillim (Psalms) in Jewish tradition. The verse reads in Hebrew: נֵר לְרַגְלִי דְבָרְךָ וְאוֹר לִדְרָכָי (Ner l'ragli d'var'cha v'or lidrachai), which translates to "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" in English. This verse is part of the longest psalm in the Bible, which is an acrostic poem with each stanza beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Psalm 119 is a meditation on the virtues of God's law (Torah) and the blessings of obeying it. The verse emphasizes the guidance and illumination that God's word provides, comparing it to a lamp that lights one's way in darkness. This metaphorical language is common in Hebrew poetry and reflects the ancient Near Eastern cultural context where lamps were essential for navigation in the dark. The verse has been widely quoted and interpreted in both Jewish and Christian traditions, often serving as a source of comfort and direction for those seeking spiritual guidance.
