Tune: Lobe Den Herren = Praise the Lord
('Praise to the Lord, the Almighty')
Psalm 119 v.73-80
********
Your hands, O LORD, have made me
And have fashioned me, I see
Give me understanding
That I learn your commands, each thing
They that fear you
Will be glad when they anew
See me, I hope in your word true
I know, LORD, your judgements
Are right, and are of wise, good sense
And I know that 'tis sure
In faithfulness you afflict, for
To chasten me
In your plan, purpose it be
That your will and mine do agree
Let, I pray your mercies
And kindness for my comfort be
According to your word
To your servant, I it have heard
Mercies tender
Come to me, to me render
That I may live, your grace confer
For your law it be here
My delight, I serve you with fear
Let the proud be ashamed
They care not, nor have they you named
They dealt perverse
Without a cause through life's verse
Only going from bad to worse
But I will meditate
In your precepts,and not be late
Let those that fear you
And know your testimonies true
Turn unto me
That my servant heart they see
And unto you for refuge flee
Let my heart be sound in
Your statutes, your Spirit within
Teach me and guide me here
That I obedient you fear
So I no shame
Shall have, for I know your name
Faithful LORD, for ever the same
