Probably by JAMES NARES, 1715-1783 |
57 Thou my sure portion art alone,
Which I did choose, O Lord;
I have resolved, and said, that I
Would keep thy holy word.
58 With my whole heart I did entreat
Thy face and favour free:
According to thy gracious word
Be merciful to me.
59 I thought upon my former ways,
And did my life well try;
And to thy testimonies pure
My feet then turned I.
60 I did not stay, nor linger long,
As those that slothful are;
But hastily thy laws to keep
Myself I did prepare.
6l Bands of the wicked me beset,
Thy law I did not slight.
62 I'll rise at midnight thee to praise,
Even for thy judgments right.
63 I am companion to all those
Who fear, and thee obey.
64 O Lord, thy mercy fills the earth:
Teach me thy laws, I pray.
