Tune: St Peter
(\'How sweet the name of Jesus sounds\')
Psalm 119 v.137-144
*********
Righteous are you, LORD, and upright
Your judgements to my sight
Your testimonies sure have you
Commanded, they all true
And righteous and very faithful
They be, I see them all
My zeal it has consumed me for
My enemies abhor
They abhor and have forgotten
Your words spoen to men (mankind)
But your word very pure I find
Your mercies to me kind
Therefore I your servant do love
Your word, it encove (encovenant)
To me, for I am small, despised
But I have none beside
None beside you, and I recall
Your precepts, note them all
Your righteousness everlasting
Your law is truth, I sing
Trouble and anguish have took hold
Though I still in your fold
And your commands are my delight
They pleasing in my sight
The righteousness of your laws be
Everlasting and free
Your testimonies last for e\'er
Them I understand, share
