Tune: Nun Danket
('Now thank we all our God')
Psalm 119 v.97-104
*********
O how I love your law
It my meditation sure
All the day, LORD, for you
Through your commands me renew
Wiser you have made me
Than my enemies, see
Though they e'er with me be
I trust your way plainly
I have understanding
More than my teachers can bring
For your testimonies
Are my meditation, these
Will guide me on your way
And keep me every day
More than the worldly-wise
I have, and none denies
Your precepts do I keep
I in your fold as your sheep
I have my feet refrained
From evil ways them restrained
So I might keep your word
Each treasure I have heard
With your judgements I stay
Uphold me still I pray
For you do teach me well
Of your ways inform, me tell
How sweet your word they be
To taste, sweeter than honey
And I will on them feed
They are a feast indeed
Your precepts true they be
And I hate falsity

May that teaching lead you well on your path of righteousness.
Thanks Gold.
I am a great fan of meditation in all its forms, or at least all those known to me... I enjoyed these words too by the way...... N
Thanks N. Now I must say 'Ommm' more often. Erm, but there's more to it than that!
