Psalms 18:28

For you light my lamp [give me life], Lord (Yahweh)
– my God (Elohim) illuminates my darkness.
[A lamp often signifies physical and spiritual life, see Job 18:5–6; 21:17; Prov 13:9; 20:20; 24:20. David is also called "the light of Israel," see 2 Sam. 21:17. In the temple, the light of the seven-branched candlestick burned all night, see Ex. 25:37. True humility is about willingly bowing down before God, see Ps. 37:11. Here in verse 27, the Hebrew word sapal is used, which means to be forced down low.]
