Representative Text

1 O let my supplicating cry
by Thee, my gracious LORD, be heard;
give wisdom and deliver me
according to Thy faithful word.

2 Instructed in Thy holy law,
to praise Thy word I lift my voice;
O Lord, be Thou my present help,
for Thy commandments are my choice.

3 For Thy salvation I have longed,
and in Thy law is my delight;
enrich my soul with life divine,
and help me by Thy judgments right.

4 Thy servant like a wand'ring sheep
has lost the path and gone astray;
restore my soul and lead me home,
for Thy commands I would obey.
