Poetic Interlude XXX

(Converted from Biblical Psalm 119: NUN [Verses 105-112]) Imagined as a interwoven dialogue between both people in a marriage and God. 

Woman: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Man: I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

W: I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according to Thy Word. 

M: Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments.

W: My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget Thy law. 

M: The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from Thy precepts.

W: Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

M: I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes always, even unto the end.
