Hast made thy truth and love appear:
Before mine eyes I set thy laws,
And thou hast own'd my righteous cause.
2 Since I have learn'd thy holy ways,
I've walk'd upright before thy face;
Or if my feet did e'er depart,
Thy love reclaim'd my wandering heart.
3 What sore temptations broke my rest!
What wars and strugglings in my breast!
But through thy grace that reigns within,
I guard against my darling sin.
4 That sin which close besets me still,
That works and strives against my will;
When shall thy spirit's sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more.
5 With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward:
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God as faithful and as kind.
6 And men that love revenge shall know,
God hath an arm of vengeance too:
The just and pure, shall ever say,
Thou art more pure, more just than they. Scripture: Psalm 18:20-26
