Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#269

269. Regard My Grief and Rescue Me

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 statues, 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.
