This portion following is a prayer to the Lord, to be further instructed in the word of God, and to have his affections thereby more reformed. The reasons which he useth be three: the first is his faith in the word, in that he made account of it to be the only means, whereby he should be directed in all his ways, and this is contained1 in the first verse of the portion: Thy word is a lantern unto my feet, and a light unto my (steps) or path. The second, is his constant purpose to persevere in the obedience of Gods word in the verse following: I have sworn and will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgements. The third is his miserable calamity, wherein he was, which constrained him to pray, which appeareth in the next verse: I am very sore afflicted, O Lord, quicken me according to t••y word These things are afterwards showed in the verses following, as his faith in Gods law in the two last, and his calamity in the first and sixth verses, with prayer couched in the middest of the portion.
