Psalms 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet -This begins a new portion of the psalm, indicated by the Hebrew letter Nun (נn), equivalent to our “n.” The margin here is “candle.” The Hebrew word means a light, lamp, candle. The idea is, that the word of God is like a torch or lamp ton man in a dark night. It shows him the way; it prevents his stumbling over obstacles, or failing down precipices, or wandering off into paths which would lead into danger, or would turn him away altogether from the path to life. Compare the notes at2 Peter 1:19. And a light unto my path -The same idea substantially is presented here.
