How blest the upright in the way

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 How bless'd the upright in the way! Who in JEHOVAH's law will go: 2 Who keep his records bless'd are they, With all their heart who seek him too: 3 And who work not iniquity, But in his ways strict walkers are. 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep Thy precepts with our utmost care. 5 O that my ways estabiish'd were To keep thy statutes heedfully! 6 When I all thy commands regard, Then be ashamed shall not I. 7 When thy just judgments I mall learn, Thee with an upright heart I'll praise. 8 Me utterly forsake not Thou; And I'll thy statutes keep always. [2 Part] 9 By what may youth make pure their way Thy word by strict attending to. 10 With all my heart I sought for Thee: From thy commands ne'er let me go! 11 I hid thy word within my heart, Lest I should give offence to Thee. 12 O Thou JEHOVAH, biessed art; Thy statutes therefore teach Thou me! 13 I all the judgments of thy mouth Did with my faithful lips declare. 14 My joys more in thy records way, Than in all earthly riches are. 15 I'll on thy precepts meditate, And on thy ways mine eyes will set: 16 Thy statutes shall be my delight; And I thy word will not forget. [3 Part] 17 O to thy servant give this grace, that I may live thy word to keep 18 Unveil mine eyes, that I may see Within thy law the wonders deep. 19 I am a stranger in the earth; O never hide thy laws from me. 20 My soul is broken with desire, Thy judgments at all times to see. 21 Thou hast rebuk'd the proud accurs'd, Who from thy sacred statutes swerv'd. 22 Reproach and shame roll off from me; For I thy records have observ'd. 23 The great against me sit and speak, But I thy laws my study make: 24 Thy records are my great delight, And them my councellors I take. [4 Part] 25 Down to the dust my soul cleaves fast; After thy word revive me now: 26 I told my ways, and Thou didst hear; Thy statutes teach Thou me to know. 27 Thy precepts way O learn Thou me; Thy wonders then will I declare: 28 My soul with grief dissolves away; O by thy word my strength repair! 29 The way of lies from me remove; Grant me thy law's enlightening aid: 30 For I have chose the way of truth; Thy judgments I before me laid. 31 I to thy testimonies cleave; O LORD, shame on me never cast: 32 I'll run thy precepts way with joy, When Thou my heart enlarged hast. [5 Part] 33 O teach me, LORD, thy statutes way; And I will from it ne'r depart: 34 Instruct me; and I'll keep thy law, And it observe with all my heart. 35 In thy laws path make me to go; Because therein my pleasure lies: 36 O to thy records bow my heart, And leave it not to avarice. 37 From all vain objects turn mine eyes; Me in thy way revive and chear. 38 O to thy servant keep thy word, Who is devoted to thy fear. 39 The slander which I fear remove; Good are the judgments Thou dost give. 40 See how I for thy precepts long ; Me in thy righteousness revive. [6 Part] 41 LORD, let thy mercies come to me; After thy word, salvation show: 42 So I my sland'rers shall refute; Because thy word I trusted to. 43 The word of truth keep in my mouth, For on thy judgments I depend. 44. So I with care will keep thy law, With constancy, ev'n to the end. 45 Yea I will walk at liberty; Because I thy commandments seek; 46 And I before the greatest kings Will boldly of thy records speak. 47 In thy commands which I have lov'd My self I'll greatly recreate 48 To thy lov'd precepts lift my hands, Arid on thy statutes meditate. [7 Part] 49 Good to thy servant make thy word, By which Thou mad'st me rest on Thee: 50 My comfort in distress is this,- Thy faithful word hath quick'ned me. 51 Tho' proud ones greatly me deride, I have not from thy law declin'd. 52 Thy judgments, LORD, which were of old, I have review'd, and comfort find. 53 I'm struck with horror, to behold How impious men thy law forsake: 54 But in my house of pilgrimage, Thy statutes are the songs I make. 55 By night remembred I thy name, O LORD, and kept thy laws have I: 56 This comfort I receiv'd because I kept thy precepts heedfully. [8 Part] 57 The LORD my chosen portion is: I said that I will keep thy word. 58 I sought thy face with all my heart: After thy word, me grace afford. 59 I view'd my ways and turn'd my feet, Into thy testimonies way; 60 I hast'ned thy commands to keep, And made not any more delay. 61 Tho' bands of wicked men me spoil, Thy laws I think on with delight. 62 I'll rise at midnight Thee to praise, Because thy judgments all are right. 63 Companion to them all am I, Who keep thy laws, and rev'rence Thee: 64 O LORD, thy mercy fills the earth, Thy statutes kindly teach Thou me. [9 Part] 65 O LORD, Thou with thy servant WELL According to thy word hast done: 66 Good taste and judgment teach Thou me. For I thy laws have rested on. 67 Before I was chastiz'd, I stray'd; But now to keep thy word I learn. 68 Both good Thou art, and good Thou dost; Thy statutes cause me to discern. 69 The proud against me forge their lies; Thy laws I'll keep with heart upright: 70 Their heart is grown as fat as grease; But In thy law is my delight. 71 That 1 might well thy statutes learn, 'Tis good that Thou didst me chastise. 72 Laws of thy mouth I far above Thousands of gold and silver prize. [10 Part] 73 Thy hands have made and fashion'd me; Wisdom to learn thy laws afford: 74 Who fear Thee shall see me with joy, Because I've hoped in thy word. 75 Thy judgments, LORD, are right I know, And in thy truth Thou chastnest me' 76 After thy word, thy servant to, Now let thy grace my comfort be! 77 Thy kindness show, that I may live! Thy law with pleasure I peruse. 78 Shame proud ones who me causeless wrong, While on thy precepts I will muse. 79 Let such as fear thee, and who know Thy testimonies, turn to me: 80 My heart make in thy laws entire. That I may not ashamed be. [11 Part] 81 Looking for thy salvation long, My soul faints; yet I trust thy word: 82 Mine eyes fail for thy word; and cry, When wilt Thou comfort me afford? 83 I'm like a skin dry'd in the smoke; Yet I thy laws do not forget! 84. How long thy servants days? when wilt Thou judge the men who me beset? 85 For me the proud have digged pits, Which never would thy law allow: 86 For all thy laws are truth; help me, Whom they unrighteously pursue. 87 They almost me consum'd on earth; Yet from thy laws I did not swerve. 88 O in thy mercy me revive; And thy mouth's records I'll observe. [12 Part] 89 Made fast thy word in heav'n, O LORD, it doth eternally endure: 90 Thy truth for ever lasts; and Thou The earth hast founded, and 'tis sure: 91 By thy decree they stand this day; For they all servants are to Thee. 92 Were not thy law my joy, I soon had perish'd in adversity. 93 Thy laws I'll never forget; for Thou By them hast quickning to me brought: 94 O save me; for I'm wholly thine, And careful have thy precepts sought. 95 To ruin me the wicked watch; but I thy testimonies mind: 96 Of all perfection bounds I see; but Thy command is uncofin'd. [13 Part] 97 How greatly do I love Thy law! It daily my sweet study grows: 98 By thy laws, ever with me, Thou Hast nude me wiser than my foes. 99 More than my teachers all, I know; Because thy laws my study are: 100 I know more than the ancient do; Because I keep thy laws with care. 101 From all ill ways I kept my feet; That I might well thy word obey: 102 Because thou hast instructed me, I did not from thy judgments stray. 103 How sweet thy words are to my taste! More to my mouth than honey they: 104 I from thy precepts wisdom gain; And therefore hate each lying way. [14 Part] 105 Thy word is to my feet the lamp, A shining light to show my way: 106 I sware, and to perform, resolve Thy right'ous judgments to obey. 107 I'm sore distress'd; LORD me revive, According to thy faithful word: 108 My mouth's free off'rings, O accept; And me thy judgments teach, O LORD. 109 My soul is always in my hand, Yet did I not thy law forget: 110 Nor from thy precepts have I stray'd, Tho' snares for me the wicked set. 111 Thy word my endless heritage I chuse, as of my heart the joy: 112 My heart to do thy will I bow, And therein all my life employ, [15 Part] 113 Proud, wav'ring and vain tho'ts I hate; But dearly love thy law do I: 114 My covert and my shield art Thou; And on thy word I firm rely. 115 Depart from me ye wicked men; For, keep my God's commands I must: 116 By thy word stay me; and I live, Nor am ashamed of my trust. 117 Uphold me, and I shall be safe; And I thy laws will always eye: 118 Who leave thy laws Thou treadest down; For their deceit is all a lie. 119 Earth's lewd, as dross Thou throw'st away; To love thy law I'm therefore led: 120 My flesh all shakes for fear of Thee, And I thy judgments greatly dread. [16 Part] 121 O, to oppressors, leave me not; I judgment do and righteousness: 122 For good, thy servant's surety be; and let not proud ones me oppress. 123 Mine eyes for thy salvation fail, And for thy word of equity. 124 In mercy with thy servant deal; And all thy statutes teach Thou me. 125 I am thy servant; make me wise, Thy testimonies all to know: 126 Tis time for Thee, O LORD, to work, For men thy law abolish now. 127 Hence above gold, the finest gold, Thy laws I love and estimate: 128 And all thy precepts right esteem, And ev'ry way of falshood hate. [17 Part] 129 Replete with wonders are thy words: Therefore, my soul keeps them with care: 130 The op'ning of thy word gives light; And makes them wise who simple were. 131 With open mouth, for thy commands I pant, with longings for the same. 132 Look on; in judgment pity me, As Thou dost those who love thy name. 133 By thy word, order all my steps; Let no sin over me bear sway. 134 Save me from being oppress'd by man; And I will all thy laws obey. 135 Thy face let on thy servant shine, And me to learn thy statutes cause: 136 While tears in floods run down mine eyes, To see men violate thy laws. [18 Part] 137 Stedfastly just Thou art, O LORD Thy judgments are upright also: 138 Thy records which Thou dost command Are right'ous and most faithful too. 139 My zeal consumes me to behold Mine enemies thy words forget: 140 Thy word is most refin'd; therefore Thy servant's love thereon is set. 141 Tho' I am little and despis'd; My soul thy precepts yet retains: 142 Thy righteousness for ever lasts; Thy law eternal truth remains. 143 Distress and anguish on me seize; Yet great delight thy precepts give: 144 Thy records ever righteous last; O make me wise, and I shall live. [19 Part] 145 To Thee with all my heart I cry; LORD hear, and I'll thy word obey: 146 To Thee I cry, O save Thou me; And I will keep thy records way. 147 Before the morning dawn I cry; And for thy word in hope I wait. 148 Mine eyes prevent the midnight watch, Upon thy word to meditate. 149 My voice, LORD, in thy mercy hear, Revive me in thy judgment too: 150 They who seek mischief near me come; But from thy law far off will go. 151 But, O JEHOVAH, thou art near; All thy commands are verity. 152 Of old I know, thou founded hast Thy records for eternity. [20 Part] 153 My griefs consider, and me save; For I do not forget thy laws: 154 For thy word's sake revive Thou me, Deliver me, and plead my cause. 155 Salvation is from sinners far, Since for thy laws they will not strive: 156 Thy tender mercies, LORD, are great; After thy judgments me revive. 157 Many my persecuting foes; Yet from thy laws I do not swerve: 158 I sinners see, and greatly grieve; For they thy word do not observe. 159 Consider how I love thy laws; In mercy LORD revive Thou me: 160 Thy word is ever perfect truth, Thy judgment just eternally. [21 Part] 161 Great men me causeless persecute; But more thy word o'er awes my mind; 162 And yet I in thy word rejoyce, As they who stores of riches find. 163 I falshood utterly abhor But dearly love thy law always: 164 And for thy right'ous judgments I Ev'n seven times a day Thee praise. 165 Great peace have they who love thy law; No stumbling stone shall them offend: 166 For thy salvation, LORD, I hope; And thy commands with care attend. 167 My soul thy testimonies keeps; And them I love exceedingly. 168 I keep thy records and commands; For all my ways before Thee lie. [22 Part] 169 O let my cry, LORD, come to Thee; After thy word me prudent make: 170 Let my request before Thee come; And save Thou me for thy word's sake, 171 To Thee my lips shall utter praise, When Thou thy statutes teachest me: 172 My tongue shall forth thy word resound. For all thy laws are just, I see. 173 O help me by thy mighty hand; For I thy precepts make my choice. 174 LORD I for thy salvation long; And greatly in thy law rejoyce. 175 Let my soul live; and I'll Thee praise; And from thy judgments succour find: 176 Thy servant seek, who like stray sheep Am lost; yet I thy precepts mind.

Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 First Line: Blessed are they that perfect are Lyrics: 1 Blessed are they that perfect are, and pure in mind and heart: Whose lives and conversations from Gods lawes never start. 2 Blessed are they that give themselves, his statutes to observe: Seeking the Lord with all their heart, and never from him swerve, 3 Doubtlesse such men go not astray, nor do a wicked thing: Which steadfastly walk in his way, without any wandring. 4 It is thy will and commandement that with attentive heed Thy noble and divine precepts, we learn and keep indeed. 5 O would to God it might thee please my waies so to addresse: That I might both in heart and voice thy lawes keep and confesse. 6 So should no shame m life attaint, whilst I thus set mine eyes, And bend my mind alwaies to muse on thy sacred decrees. 7 Then will I praise with upright heart, and magnifie thy Name, When I shall learn thy judgements just, and likewise prove the same. 8 And wholly will I give my selfe to keep thy lawes most right: Forsake me not for ever Lord, but shew thy grace and might. BETH. The second Part: 9 By what meanes may a young man best his life learn to amend? If that he mark and keep thy word, and therein his time spend. 10 Unfainedly I have thee sought, and thus seeking abide: O never suffer me O Lord, from thy precepts to slide. 11 Within my heart and secret thoughts thy words I have hid still: That I might not at any time offend thy godly will. 12 We magnifie thy Name O Lord, and praise thee evermore: Thy statutes of most worthy fame, O Lord teach me therefore. 13 My lips have never ceas'd to preach and publish day and night, The judgements all, which did proceed from thy mouth full of might. 14 Thy testimonies and thy waies please me no lesse indeed Then all the treasures of the earth, which worldlings make their meed. 15 Of thy precepts I will still muse, and thereto frame my talke: As at a mark so will I aime, thy waies how I may walk. 16 My only joy shall be so fix'd, and on thy lawes so set: That nothing shall me so farre blind, that I thy words forget. GIMEL. The third Part: 17 Grant to thy servant now such grace as may my life prolong: Thy holy Word then will I keep both in my heart and tongue. 18 Mine eyes which are dim and shut up, so open and make bright: That of thy law and marvellous works I may have the cleare sight. 19 I am a stranger in this earth, wandring now here now there: Thy word therefore to me disclose, my foot-steps for to cleare. 20 My soule is ravish'd with desire, and never is at rest: But seeks to know thy judgements high, and what may please thee best. 21 The proud men and malicious thou hast destroid each one: And cursed are such as do not thy hests attend upon. 22 Lord turn from me rebuke and shame which wicked men conspire: For I have kept thy covenants with zeale as hot as fire. 23 The Princes great in counsell sate, and did against me speak: But then thy servant thought how he thy statutes might not break. 24 For why thy covenants are the joy, and my hearts great solace: They serve instead of counsellers, my matter for to passe. DALETH. The fourth Part: 25 I am alas as brought to grave, and almost turn'd to dust: Restore therefore my life againe, as thy promise is just. 26 My waies when I acknowledged, with mercy thou didst heare: Heare now estsoone, and me instruct thy laws to love and feare. 27 Teach me once throughly for to know thy precepts and thy love: Thy works then will I meditate, and lay them up in store. 28 My soule I feele so sore opprest, that it melteth for grief: According to thy word therefore, hast Lord to send reliefe. 29 From lying and deceitfull lips let thy grace me defend: And that I may learn thee to love, thy holy law me send. 30 The way of truth both straight and sure I have chosen and found. I for thy judgments me before, which keep me safe and sound. 31 Since then (O Lord) I forc'd my selfe thy covenants to embrace: Let me therefore have no rebuke, nor check in any case. 32 Then will I run with joyfull chore where thy Word doth me call, When thou hast set ,u jeart at ;arge. and rid me out of thrall. HE. The Fift Part: 33 Instruct me Lord in the right trade of thy statutes divine: And it to keep even to the end my heart I will incline. 34 Grant me the knowledge of thy law, and I shall it obey: With heart and mind and all my might I will it keep I say. 35 In the right paths of thy precepts guide me Lord I require: None other pleasure do I wish, no greater thing desire. 36 Incline mine heart thy lawes to keep, and covenants to embrace: And from all filthy avarice, Lord shield me with thy grace. 37 From vaine desires and worldly lusts turn back my eyes and sight: Give me the spirit of life and power, to walk thy waies aright. 38 Confirm thy gracious promise Lord, which thou hast made to me: Which am thy servant, and do love, and feare nothing but thee. 39 Reproach and shame which I do feare, from me O Lord, expell: For thou dost judge with equity, and therein dost excell. 40 Behold my hearts desire is bent thy lawes to keep for aye: Lord strengthen me so with thy grace that it performe I may. VAV. The sixt Part: 41 Thy mercies great and manifold let me obtaine O Lord: Thy saving health let me enjoy according to thy word. 42 So shall I stop the slanderous mouthes of lewd men and unjust: For in thy faithfull promises stands my comfort and trust. 43 The word of truth within my mouth let ever still be prest: For in thy judgements wonderfull my hope doth stand and rest. 44 And whilst that breath within my brest dot naturall life preserve: Yea till this world shall be dissolv'd, thy law will I observe. 45 So walk will I as set at large, and made free from all dread: Because I sought how for to keep thy precepts and they read. 46 Thy noble acts I will describe as things of most great fame: Even before Kings I will them blaze, and shrink no whit for shame. 47 I will rejoyce then to obey thy worthy hests and will: Which evermore I have lov'd best, and so will love them still: 48 My hands I will lift to thy lawes which I have dearely sought: And practice thy commandements in will, in deed, in thought. ZAIN. The seventh Part: 49 Thy promise which thou mad'st to me, thy servant, Lord, remember: For therein have I put my trust and confidence for ever. 50 It is my comfort and my joy, when troubles me assaile: For were my life not by thy word, my life would soone me faile. 51 The proud and such as God contemne still make of me a scorne: Yet would I not thy law forsake, as he that were forlorne: 52 But cal'd to mind, Lord, thy great works shew'd to our fathers old: Whereby I feel my joy surmount my griefe an hundred fold. 53 But yet alas, for feae I quake, seeing how wicked men Thy law forsook, and did procure thy judgements upon them. 54 And as for me, I fram'd my songs thy statutes to exalt: When I among the strangers dwelt, and thoughts gan me assault. 55 I thought upon thy Name, O Lord, by night when others sleep: As for the law, also I kept, and ever will it keep. 56 This grace I did obtaine because thy covenants sweet and deare I did embrace, and also keep with reverence and feare. HETH. The eight Part: 57 O God which art my part and lot, my comfort and my stay: I have decreed and promised thy laws to keep alway. 58 Mine earnest heart did hymbly sue in presence of thy face: As thou therefore hast promised, Lord, grant of me thy grace. 59 My life I have examined, and tri'd my secret heart Which to thy statutes caused me my feet straight to convert. 60 I did not stay nor linger long, as they that slothfull are: But hastily thy lawes to keepe, I did my selfe prepare. 61 The cruell bands of wicked men have made of me their prey: Yet would I not thy law forget, nor from thee go astray. 62 Thy righteous judgements towards me so great are and so hie: That even at midnight I will rise, Thy Name to magnifie. 63 Companion am I to all them which feare thee in their heart: And never will for love nor dread from thy commandements start. 64 Thy mercies Lord most plenteously do all the world fulfill: O teach me how I may obey, thy statutes and thy will. TETH. The ninth Part: 65 According to thy promise Lord, so hast thou with me dealt: For of thy grace in sundry sorts have I thy servant felt. 66 Teach me to judge alwaies aright, and give me knowledge sure: For certainly believe I do that thy precepts are pure. 67 Ere thou didst touch me with thy rod I err'd and went astray: But now I keep thy holy Word, and make it all my stay. 68 Thou art both good and gracious, and giv'st most libeally: Thine ordinances how to keep, therefore O Lord teach me. 69 The proud and wicked men have ford'g against me many a lie: Yet thy commandments still observe with all my heart will I. 70 Their hearts are swolne with worldy weale as grease so are they fat. But in thy law do I delight, and nothing seek but that. 71 O happy time, may I well say, when thou didst me correct: For a a guide to learne thy law, thy rod did me direct. 72 So that to me thy word and law, is dearer manifold: Then thousands great of silver and gold, or ought that can be told. JOD. The tenth Part: 73 Seeing thy hands have made me Lord, to be thy creature: Grant knowledge likewise how to learne to put thy lawes in me. 74 So they that feare thee shall rejoyce, whenever they may see: Because I've learn'd by thy Word to put my trust in thee. 75 When with thy rods the world is plagued I know the cause is just: So when thy dost correct me Lord, the cause just needs be must. 76 Now of thy goodnesse I thee pray, some comfort to me send: As thou to me hast promised, so from all ill me shend. 77 Thy tender mercies powre on me, and I shall surely live: For joy and consolation both thy law to me doth give. 78 Confound the proud whose false pretence is me for to destroy: But as for me thy hests to know, I will my selfe imploy. 79 Who so with reverence do thee feare, to me let them retire: And such as do thy covenants know, and them alone desire. 80 My heart without all wavering let on thy laws be bent: That no confusion come to me, whereby I should be shent. CAPH. The eleventh Part: 81 My soule doth faint and ceaseth not, thy saving health to crave: And for thy words sake still I trust, my hearts desire to have. 82 Mine eyes do faile with looking for thy word, and thus I say: O when wilt thou me comfort, Lord, why dost thou thus delay? 83 As a skin-bottle in the smoke so am I parcht and dri'd: Yet will I not out of my heart let thy commandements slide. 84 Alas how long shall I yet live before I see the houre, That on my foes which me torment, thy vengeance thou wilt powre? 85 Presumptuous men have digged pits, thinking to make me sure: Thus contrary against thy law my hurt they do procure. 86 But thy commanedments are all true, and causeless they me grieve: To thee therefore I do complaine, that thou might me relieve. 87 Almost they had me cleane destroid, and brought me quite to ground: Yet by thy statutes I abode, and therein succour found. 88 Restore me Lord againe to life, for thy mercis excell And so shall I thy covenants keep, till death my life expell. LAMED. The twelfth Part: 89 In heaven Lord where thou dost dwell, thy word is stablisht sure: And shall to all eternity fast graven there endure. 90 From age to age thy truth abides, as doth the earth witnesse: Whose ground-work thou hast laid so sure as no tongue can expresse. 91 Even to this day we may well see, how thou dost them preserve According to thine ordinance, for all things do thee feare. 92 Had it not been that in thy law my soule had comfort sought: Long time ere now in my distresse I had been brought to nought. 93 Therefore will I thy precepts aye in memory keep fast: By them thou hast my life restored when I was at last cast. 94 No wight to me can title make, for I am onely thine: Save me therefore, for to thy lawes my eares and heart incline. 95 The wicked men do seek my bane, for me do lie in wait: But I the while considered thy noble works and great. 96 I see nothing in this wide world, at length that hath not end: But thy commandements and thy word beyond all time extend. MEM. The thirteenth Part: 97 What great desire and fervent love do I beare to thy law? All the day long I meditate on it with reverent awe. 98 Thy word hath taught me far to passe my foes in policie For still I hold it as a thing of most excellencie. 99 My teachers which did me instruct, in knowledge I excell: Because I do thy cpvenants keep, and them to others tell. 100 In wisdome I do passe also the ancient men indeed: And all because I keep thy lawes, I held it aye best read. 101 My feet I have refrained eke from every evill way: Because that I continually thy word might keep, I say. 102 I have not swerv'd from thy judgements nor yet shrunk any dell: For why? thou hast me taught thereby, to live godly and well. 103 O Lord how sweet unto my taste I find thy words alway: Doubtlesse no hony in my mouth feele ought so sweet I may. 104 Thy laws have me such wisdome learn'd, that utterly I hate: All wicked and ungodly waies, in every kind of rate. NUN. The fourteenth Part. 105 Even as a lantern to my feet, so doth thy Word shine bright: And to my paths where ever I go it is a flaming light. 106 I have both sworn and will performe by promises doubtlesse, That I will keep thy judgments just, and them in life expresse. 107 Affliction hath me sore opprest, and brought me to deaths doore: O Lord, as thou hast promised, so me to life restore. 108 The offrings which with heart and voice most frankly I thee give, Accept, and teach me how I may after thy judgements live. 109 My soule is aye so in my hand, great dangers me assaile: Yet do I not thy law forget, nor it to keep will faile. 110 Although the wicked laid their nets, to catch me at a bay: Yet did I not from thy precepts once swerve or go astray. 111 Thy laws I have so claim'd alway, as mine own heritage: And why? for therein I delight, and let my whole courage: 112 For evermore I have been bent thy statutes to fulfill: Even so likewise unto the end I will continue still. SAMECH. The fifteenth Part. 113 The crefty thoughts & double hearts I do alwaies detest: But as for thy law and pecepts, I love them ever best. 114 Thou art my hid and secret place, my shield and strong defence: Therefore have I thy promises look'd for with confidence. 115 Go to therefore ye wicked men, depart from me anon: For the commandements will I keep of God my Lord alone. 116 As thou hast promis'd, so performe, that death me not assaile: Nor let my hope abase me so that through distrust I quaile. 117 Uphold me and I shall be safe, for ought they do or say: And in thy statutes pleasure take will I both night and day. 118 Thou hast trod such under thy feet, as do thy statutes break: For nought availes their subtlety, their counsell is but weak. 119 Like drosse thou casts the wicked out Where ere they go or dwell: Therefore can I as thy statutes love nothing halfe so well. 120 My flesh alas is taken with feare, as though it were benum'd For when i see thy judgements, straight I am as one aston'd. AIN. The sixteenth Part. 121 I do the thing that lawfull is, and give to all men right: Resigne me not to them that would, oppresse me with their might. 122 But for thy servant surety be, in that thing that is good: That proud men give me not the soile, which rage as they were wood. 123 Mine eyes with waiting are not blind thy health so much I do crave: And eke thy righteous promise Lord, whereby thou wilt me save. 124 Intreat thy servant lovingly, and favour to him showL Thy statutes of most excellency, teach me also to know. 125 Thy humble servant (Lord) I am, grant me to understand, How by thy statutes I may know best what to take in hand. 126 It is now time (Lord) to begin, for truth is quite decaid: Thy law likewise they have transgrest, and none against them said. 127 This is the cause wherefore I love thy lawes better than gold, Or jewels fine which are esteem'd most costly to be sold. 128 I thought thy precepts all most just, and so them laid in store: All crafty and malicious waies I do abhorre therefore. PE. The seventeenth Part: 129 Thy covenants are most wonderfull, and full of things profound: My soule therefore doth keep them sure, when they are tri'd and found. 130 When men first enter into thy word, they find a light most cleare: The very idiots understand, when they it read or heare. 131 For joy I have both gap'd & breath'd, to know thy commandement: That I might guide my selfe thereby, I sought what thing it ment. 132 With mercy and compassion, Lord, behold me from above: As thou art wont to behold such, as thy Name feare and love. 133 Direct my foot-steps by thy Word that I thy will may know: And never let iniquity thy servant overthrow. 134 From slanderous tongues and deadly harms preserve and keep me sure: Thy precepts then will I observe, and put them eke in ure. 135 Thy countenance, which doth surmount, the Sunne in its bright hue: Let shine on me, and by thy law teach me what to eschewe. 136 Out of mine eyes great flouds gust out of dreary teares that fall: When I behold how wicked men thy lawes keep not at all. ZADE. The eighteenth Part: 137 In every point Lord thou art just, the wicked though they grudge: And when thou dost sentence pronounce, thou art a righteous Judge. 138 To render right and flie from guile, are two chiefe points most high: And such as thou hast in thy law commanded us straightly. 139 My zeale and wrath I am consumed and even pin'd away: To see my foes thy word forget, for ought that I do may. 140 So pure and perfect is thy Word, as any heart can deem: And I thy servant nothing more do love or yet esteeme. 141 And though I be nothing set by, as one of base degree: Yet do I not thy lawes forget, nor shrink away from thee. 142 Thy righteousness (Lord) is most just, for ever to endure: Also thy Law is truth itselfe, most constant and most pure. 143 Trouble and griefe have seiz'd on me, and brought me wondrous low: Yet do I still all thy precepts delight to heare and know. 144 The righteousnesse of thy commands doth last for evermore: Then teach them me, for even in them my life lies up in store. KOPH. The nineteenth Part: 145 With fervent heart I cald and cried, now answer me O Lord: That thy commandments to observe, I may fully accord. 146 To thee my God I make my suit with most humble requsts: Save me therefore and I will keep thy precepts and thy hests. 147 To thee I cry even in the morne, before the day waxe light: Because that i have in thy word my confidence whole pight. 148 Mine eyes prevent the watch by night and ere they call I wake: That by devising on thy Word, I might some comfort take. 149 Incline thine eares to heare my voice, and pittie on me take: As thou wast wont, so judge me Lord, lest life should me forsake. 150 My foes draw neare, and do procure my death maliciously Which from thy law are far gone back, and straid from it lewdly. 151 Therefore, O Lord, approach thou neare for need doth so require, For all thy precepts true they are, then help I thee desire. 152 But thy comandements have I learn'd not now, but long long ago: That they remaine for evermore, thou hast them grounded so. RESH. The twentieth Part: 153 My trouble and affliction, consider and behold: Deliver me, for of thy law I ever take fast hold. 154 Defend my good and righteous cause, with speed some succour send: From death (as thou hast promised) Lord keep me and defend. 155 As for the wicked, farre they are from having health and grace: Whereby they might thy statutes know, they enter not the trace. 156 Great are thy mercies Lord I grant, what tongue can them attaine: And as thou hast me judg'd ere now, so let me life obtaine. 157 Though many men did trouble me and persecute me sore: Yet from thy lawes I never shrunk, nor went awry therefore. 158 And truth it is for griefe I die, when I these traitors see: Because they keep no whit thy word, nor yet eek to know thee. 159 Behold, for I do love thy lawes, with heart most glad and faine: As thou art good and gracious Lord, restore my life againe. 160 What thy word doth decree must be and so it hath been ever: Thy righteous judgements are also most true and decay never. SCHIN. The xxi Part: 161 Princes have sought by cruelty, causlesse to make me crouch: But all in vaine, for of thy word the feare did my heart touch. 162 And certainly even of thy word I was more merry and glad, Than he that of rich spoiles and prey, great store and plenty had. 163 As for all lies and falsities, I hate most and detest: For why thy holy law do I above all things love best. 164 Seven times a day I praise the Lord singing with heart and voice: Thy righteous acts and wonderfull, so cause me to rejoyce. 165 Great peace and rest shal all such have, as do thy statutes love: No danger shall their quiet state empaire or once remove. 166 My onely health and comfort Lord, I look for at thy hand: And therefore have I done those things which thou didst me command. 167 Thy lawes have been mine exercise which my soul most desir'd" So much to them my love was bent, that nought else I requir'd. 168 Thy statutes and commandements. I kept (thou know'st) aright: For all the things that I hve done, are present in thy sight. TAU. The xxii Part: 169 O Lord let my complaint and cry before thy face appeare: And as thou hast me promise made, so teach me thee to feare. 170 Mine humble supplication, toward thee let find accesse: And grant me lord deliverance, for so is thy promise. 171 Then shall my lips thy praises speak, after most ample sort: When thou thy statutes hast me taught, wherein stands my comfort. 172 My tongue shall sing and preach thy wordk and in this wise say shall: Gods famous acts and noble lawes are just and perfect all. 173 Stretch out thy hand I thee beseech, and speedily me save: For thy commandements to observe chosen O Lord I have. 174 Of thee alone Lord I crave health, for other I know none: And in thy law and nothing else I do delight alone. 175 Grant me therefore long daies to live, thy Name to magnifieL And of thy judgements mercifull let me the favour try. 176 For I was lost and went astray much like a wandring sheep: O seek me for I have not fail'd thy commandements to keep.
