I'm Bishop T.D. Jakes inviting you to unwind your mind and spirit with tonight's sleep

song.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Psalm 119, verse 105.

Dear Lord, your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, when things

seem dark and I am stumbling without help.

Your word brings clarity amid the chaos.

I want your word to be my meditation day and night, may it satisfy my soul as I descend

into the embrace of sleep and may it be my nourishment.

The moment I rise with the dawn, keep your commandments before me and may your mercy

follow me.

When I feel dry and thirsty, you finish me with your precepts and give me peace.

Thank you for your word.

May I never lose love for it and how it brings me closer to you in Jesus' name, amen.

Thank you for praying with me.

Some 119 from the King James Version says,

Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk with the Law of the Lord.

Blessed are those that keep His testimonies and that seek Him with the whole heart.

They also do know iniquity.

They walk in His ways.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

O, that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes.

Then shall I not be ashamed.

When I have respect unto all thy commandments, I will praise thee with uprightness of heart

when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes, O forsake me not utterly, wherewithal shall a young man cleanse

his way by taking heed there to according to thy Word.

With my whole heart have I sought thee, O let me not wander from thy commandments.

Thou woe have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.

Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me thy statutes.

With my lips I have declared all the judgments of thy mouth, I have rejoiced in the way

of thy testimonies as much as in all riches.

I will meditate in thy precepts and have respect unto thy ways.

I will delight myself in thy statutes.

I will not forget thy Word.

No bound to flee with thy servant that I may live and keep thy Word.

Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

I am a stranger in the earth, hide not thy commandments from me.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times, thou hast

perbuke to the proud that accursed, which do air from thy commandments.

Give me from approach and contempt, for I have kept thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speak against me, but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

My soul cleaveeth unto the dust, quicken thou me according to thy Word.

I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me, teach me thy statutes.

Speak me to understand the way of thy precepts, so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

My soul melted for heaviness, strengthen thou me according to thy Word.

Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me thy law graciously.

I have chosen the way of truth, thy judgments have I laid before me.

I have stuck unto thy testimonies, O Lord, put me not to shame.

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law.

Ye I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, for therein do I delight.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken thou me in thy way.

Stablish thy Word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

Turn away my reproach, which I fear, for thy judgments are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts.

Quicken me in thy righteousness.

Let thy mercies come also unto me.

O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy Word.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me, for I trust in thy Word.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in thy judgments.

So shall I keep thy law continually forever and ever, and I will walk at liberty, for I seek thy precepts.

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

My hands also will lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

Remember the Word unto thy servant, upon which thou hath caused me to hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction, for thy Word hath quickened me.

The proud have had me greatly in derision, yet have I not declined from thy law.

I remembered thy judgments of old O Lord, and have comforted myself.

Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have kept thy law.

This I had because I kept thy precepts.

Thou art my portion, O Lord.

I have said that I would keep thy words.

I entreated thy favor with my whole heart, be merciful unto me according to thy Word.

I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me, but I have not forgotten thy law.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

The earth O Lord is full of thy mercy.

Teach me thy statutes.

Thou hast well well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy Word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I have believed thy commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept thy word.

Thou art good and doest good.

Teach me thy statutes.

The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.

The law thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me.

Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in thy word.

I know O Lord that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness has afflicted me.

Let I pray thee thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy Word unto thy

servant.

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live, for thy law is my delight.

Let the proud be ashamed, for they dealt perversely with me without a cause, but I will meditate

in thy precepts.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies, let my

heart be sound in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation, but I hope in thy word.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When will thou comfort me?

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke, yet do I not forget thy statutes.

How many are the days of thy servant, when will thou execute judgment on them that persecute

me?

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not afar thy law.

All thy commandments are faithful, they persecute me wrongfully, helped thou me.

They had almost consumed me upon earth, but I forstooked not only thy precepts, quicken

me after thy loving kindness, so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Forever O Lord thy word is settled in heaven, thy faithfulness is unto all generations, thou

hast established the earth, and it abidedeth.

They continue this day according to thine ordinances, for all are they servants, unless thy

law had bent my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget thy precepts, for with them thou hast quicken me.

I am thine, save me for I have sought thy precepts, the wicked have waited for me to destroy

me.

But I will consider thy testimonies, I have seen an end of all perfection, but thy

commandment is exceedingly broad.

Oh, how I love thy law, it is my meditation all the day.

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies, for they are never

with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation.

I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

I have not departed from thy judgments for thou hast taught me.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste, ye sweeter than honey to my mouth.

Thou thy precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way.

Thy word is a lab unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

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

I am afflicted very much, quicken me O Lord according to thy word, except I besiege thee

the free will offerings of my mouth O Lord, and teach me thy judgments.

My soul is continually in my hand, yet do I not forget thy law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haired not from thy precepts.

Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes all the way, even unto the end.

I hate vain thoughts, but thy law do I love.

Thou art my hiding place and my shield, I hope in thy word.

Be part from me, ye evil doers, for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Thou hast trodden down all them that air from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.

Thou putest away all the wicked of the earth like dross, therefore I love thy testimonies.

My flesh trebleth for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments.

I have done judgment and justice.

Leave me not to mine oppressors.

Be surely for thy servant for good, let not the proud oppress me.

My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

Feel what thy servant, according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

I am thy servant, give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.

It is time for thee, Lord, to work, for they have made void thy law.

Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, ye above fine gold.

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, and I hate every false

way.

Thy testimonies are wonderful, therefore doth my soul keep them.

The entrance of thy words giveeth life.

The entrance of thy words giveeth light.

It giveeth understanding unto the simple.

I opened my mouth and panted, for I longed for thy commandments.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou uses to do unto those that love thy

name.

Remember my steps in thy world, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Deliver me from the oppression of man, so will I keep thy precepts.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.

Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.

Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.

Thy testimonies that thou hath commanded are righteous and very faithful.

My zeal hath consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten thy words.

Thy word is very pure, therefore thy servant loveth it.

I am small and despised, yet do I not forget thy precepts.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Devil and anguish have taken hold on me, yet thy commandments are my delights.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting.

Give me understanding, and I shall live.

I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes.

I cried unto thee, save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

I prevented the drowning of the morning and cried.

I hoped in thy word.

Thy eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

Hear my voice, according unto thy loving kindness, O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief, they are far from thy law.

Thou art near, O Lord, and all thy commandments are truth.

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them forever.

Concer my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget thy law.

Plead my cause and deliver me, quicken me according to thy word.

Salvation is far from wicked, for they seek not thy statutes.

Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgments.

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies, yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

I beheld the transgressors and was grieved, because they kept not thy word.

Consider how I loved thy precepts, quicken me, O Lord, according to thy loving kindness.

Thy word is true from the beginning, and every one of thy righteous judgments in

doth forever.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

I hate an abhor lying, but thy law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them.

Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.

My soul had kept thy testimonies, and I loved them exceedingly.

I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies, for all my ways are before thee.

Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord.

Give me understanding according to thy word.

Let my supplication come before thee.

Deliver me according to thy word.

My lips shall utter praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

My tongue shall speak of thy word for all thy commandments are righteousness.

Let thine hand help me, for I have chosen thy precepts.

I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy law is my delight.

Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, and let thy judgments help me.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep, seek thy servant,

for I do not forget thy commandments.
