1 Regard my grief and rescue me,
for I do not forget Thy laws;
as Thou hast promised, save me, Lord;
redeem my soul, and plead my cause.

2 Far is salvation from the men
who do not seek Thy statutes, LORD;
great are Thy mercies, quicken me
according to Thy holy word.

3 I bear the spite of many foes,
yet from Thy law I do not swerve;
I saw the faithless and was grieved,
for they Thy word do not observe.

4 Behold how I Thy precepts love!
In kindness Lord, revive Thou me;
the sum of all Thy word is truth,
Thy word abides eternally.
