Context Summary
Psalm 119:105–112 begins each verse with the Hebrew letter nun. The Hebrew worldview used "light" as the ultimate ideal: the symbol of truth and goodness. God's commandments and instructions provide light to guide a person's life. The psalmist celebrates this, and vows to remain loyal to Scripture. He prays for even deeper faith and that he would obey the Lord for all time. Proverbs 6:23 makes a similar comment about light and paths.
