Reclaims from false desires;
With sacred wisdom His sure word
The ignorant inspires.
2 The statutes of the Lord are just,
And bring sincere delight;
His pure commands, in search of truth,
Assist the feeblest sight.
3 His perfect worship here is fixed,
On sure foundations laid;
His equal laws are in the scales
Of truth and justice weighed;
4 Of more esteem than golden mines.
Or gold refined with skill;
More sweet than honey, or the drops
That from the comb distill.
5 My trusty counsellors they are,
And friendly warning give:
Divine rewards attend on those
Who by Thy precepts live.
6 But what frail man observes how oft
He does from virtue fall?
Oh cleanse me from my secret faults,
Thou God, that know'st them all!
7 Let no presumptuous sin, O Lord,
Dominion have o'er me;
That, by Thy grace preserved I may
The great transgression flee.
8 So shall my prayer and praises be
With Thy acceptance blest;
And I, secure on Thy defence,
My strength and Saviour, rest. Scripture: Psalm 19
