Psalm 119 | Community Song

Psalm 119

is an epic song comprised of 176 verses-- 22 stanzas of 8 verses each.

It's an acrostic poem, each stanza beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Artsy! Not only that, each verse, save four, contains a synonym for Torah, a Hebrew word for God's Way or total instruction. Taken together, Psalm 119 is a rich meditation on following God's Way in a difficult world.

Keep Our Steps Steady

Psalm 119: 129-136

A contemplative prayer for guidance.

Verse 1:
All of me is devoted head to toe
to your word's unfolding light
All of us are heart-open, simple things
for your people's simple minds

Refrain:
Keep our steps steady in your promise, on the path
Keep our steps steady in your promise, on the path

Verse 2:
But our strength has been failing, looking in,
looking out from streams of tears
All of us are awaiting golden light
from your face to end our fears

Verse 3:
Holy One, we long for you Rescue us
May no sin disrupt our pace
Turn to us and have mercy Guide our feet
Help your people walk your way
