1 Thou art my portion, LORD;
Thy words I ever heed;
with all my heart Thy grace I seek,
Thy promises I plead.

2 I thought upon my ways,
Thy testimonies learned;
with earnest haste, and waiting not,
to Thy commands I turned.

3 While snares beset my path,
Thy law I keep in view;
at midnight I will give Thee praise
for all Thy judgments true.

4 All those who fear Thy Name
shall my companions be;
Thy mercy fills the earth, O LORD;
Thy statutes teach Thou me.
