Set My Eyes, Set My Soul Blues | Psalm 119: He – The Burning Path of Obedience

** Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and one of its deepest rivers of truth. Each stanza is crafted as an acrostic in Hebrew, with each verse beginning with the same letter of the alphabet. The fifth stanza, He (ה), covers verses 33 through 40—and it's a personal cry for teaching, understanding, purity, and revival. These are the words of a soul that doesn't just want to know God’s ways but walk in them with heart and fire.

In this blues song, "Set My Eyes, Set My Soul Blues," the raw ache of the psalmist echoes in a deep groove, capturing the tension between longing for righteousness and the pull of distraction. The original Scripture breathes through the lines, reminding us that God’s ways are not just rules—they’re the path to life.

** Original Scripture Text (Psalm 119:33–40, WEB):
33 Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
35 Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.
36 Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.
37 Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.
38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.
39 Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good.
40 Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.

** Lyrics – “Set My Eyes, Set My Soul Blues”

[Intro – Low guitar drone, slow and yearning]
[Begin in the key of D minor, whisper it like a prayer]

[Verse 1]
“Teach me, Yahweh, the way of Your statutes,”
(And I will keep it to the end)
Don’t just show me—form it in my bones,
(So I live it, not just pretend)
“Give me understanding,” Lord,
“Then I will keep Your law, yes, I’ll obey it with all my heart.”

[Verse 2]
[Shift to a steady walking pace – bass leads]
“Make me to walk in the path of Your commandments,”
(For there I find my delight)
Incline my heart to Your truth, not profit—
To the pure flame, not the false light.
Don’t let me sell my soul for silver
[Keep my spirit in the fight]

[Chorus]
[Let the slide guitar rise like a cry]
“Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things,”
(And revive me in Your ways)
“Fulfill Your promise to Your servant,” Lord—
For those who fear You all their days.
“Turn away my disgrace, the one I dread,”
[‘Cause “Your judgments are good,” that’s what You said.]

[Bridge – Slow it down, let the piano breathe]
“Behold, I long for Your precepts” deep,
Not shallow waters, but oceans wide.
“In Your righteousness revive me”—
[Set my soul, set my eyes, set my stride.]

[Outro – Fading echo, like dust settling]
Don’t just teach me, Lord—transform me.
[End with a soft E7 chord ringin’ like a prayer in the dark]
