The Psalter ‎#327

327. Comfort in Affliction

1 Lord, Thy word to me remember,
Thou hast made me hope in Thee;
This my comfort in affliction
That Thy word hath quickened me.

2 Mocked by those who are unrighteous,
Still to Thy commands I cleave;
Thinking on Thy former judgments,
Help and comfort I receive.

3 Wicked men Thy law forsaking
Stirred my indignation strong,
For in all my pilgrim journey
Thy commandments are my song.

4 Thou hast been my meditation
And Thy law hath been my guide;
I have kept Thy righteous precepts,
And have found them true and tried.
