Now it is a guide to our path through the world in which we walk, a very different service. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120 by J.N. Darby)
 It “is a lamp to my feet and a lantern to my path.” This it is. It is the means of a right walk, not merely because it sets the heart right, but as casting light on this world; yet not merely light on this world, such as it is, but on our path through it. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120 by J.N. Darby)
 It shows the path of the law, to us of divine life, through the world. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120 by J.N. Darby)
