Matisyahu - Candle


Song Lyrics Biblical Reference

You light up my lamp;

Psalm 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
Proverbs 6:23 - For the commandment is a lamp;
and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction
are the way of life:

Hashem my God illuminates my darkness.
[N.B. "Hashem" is a Jewish name of God. It means literally "The Name".]

Rise at midnight and sing songs till the dawn,
Psalm 119:62 - At midnight I will rise to give
thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

King David said it best

[N.B. Most of the Psalms are traditionally attributed to King David]
