(\'Fight the good fight\')
Psalm 119 v.65-72
********
You have dealt well with your servant
Faithful and true with no relent
Have dealt according to your word
On me your mercies have conferred
Teach me good judgement and knowledge
To keep your commandments I pledge
I have believed them, they do keep
Me in your fold, safe as your sheep
Before I was afflicted, I
Went astray and stayed not you nigh
But now here I have kept your word
Attentive your voice my ears heard
You are good, and do good too
Teach me your statutes, me renew
The proud against me forged a lie
I keep your precepts, to you fly
Kept them with my whole heart, this true
Though the proud do not follow you
Their heart is fat as grease, so be
But I delight in your law, see
It is good for me I have been
Afflicted, and your statutes seen
And so may I them learn always
Living for you through all my days
The law of your mouth better is
Than thousands of gold, silver, this
I know, am assured, your word love
Help me obey sweet Spirit, dove
