| Text: | Psalm CXIX: 1-6 |
1 How blest are they whose lives are pure,
And upright in the way,
Who in the Lord's most holy law
Do walk and do not stray.
2 O blest are they who to observe
His statues are inclined;
And who do seek the living God,
With their whole heart and mind.
3 Such in his ways do walk, and they
Do no iniquity.
Thou hast commanded us to keep
Thy precepts carefully.
4 O that thy statutes to observe
Thou wouldst my way direct!
Then shall I not be 'shamed, when I
Thy precepts all respect.
5 Then with integrity of heart
Thee will I praise and bless,
When I the judgments all have learned
Of thy pure righteousness.
6 That I will keep thy statutes all,
Firmly resolved have I:
O do not then, most gracious God,
Forsake me utterly.
