1 Thou, Lord, hast dealt well with Thy servant,
Thy promise is faithful and just;
Instruct me in judgment and knowledge,
For in Thy commandments I trust.
2 Before my affliction I wandered,
But now Thy good Word I obey;
O Thou, who art holy and gracious,
Now teach me Thy statutes, I pray.
3 The proud have assailed me with slander;
Thy precepts shall still be my guide;
Thy law is my joy and my treasure,
Though sinners may boast in their pride.
4 Affliction has been for my profit,
That I to Thy statues might hold;
Thy law to my soul is more precious
Than thousands of silver and gold.
