('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
Psalm 119 v.153-160
*********
Consider my affliction
You do know and see each one
Deliver me, for I do
Your law not forget, nor you
Plead my cause, and deliver
By your word do me assure
Salvation from the wicked
Is far away, from them hid
For they not your statutes seek
Here revealed to humble, meek
Great are your tender mercies
Help me Lord, my soul them sees
Many my persecutors
Enemy against me stirs
Yet till I do not decline
From your testimonies fine
I the transgressors beheld
And was grieved, for each they held
To their sins, kept not your word
Turned from it, and it not heard
Consider how I love so
Your precepts, LORD, and them know
Revive me LORD, loving kind
So you act, we sure do find
Your word from the beginning
Is true, we it speak and sing
And hear your righteous judgements
They endure e'er, you them sent
