('Blest are the pure in heart')

Psalm 119 v.105-112

********

Your word is a lamp to

My feet, and light to

My path, I have sworn that I will

Keep your good judgements still

 

I am much afflicted

Revive me, so I tread

Still in your ways, help by your word

You ever be my Lord

 

Accept, I do beseech

Freewill offerings, each

That I with my mouth make, teach too

Me your judgements to do

 

My life continually

Is in my hand, so be

Dangers surround me, yet do I

Keep and learn your laws nigh

 

Wicked have set for me

Traps, yet I strayed not, see

From your precepts, testimonies

They my heritage be

 

For ever do they last

If lift up or downcast

I may be, they the rejoicing

Of my heart, I do sing

 

I have inclined my heart

To perform, every part

Of your statutes always, e'en to

The end, so shall I do
