To render right and flie from guile, are two chief pointes most hye.
And suche as thou hast in thy law, commaunded vs streightly.
[verse 139]
With zele and wrath I am consumde, and euen pyned awaye:
To see my foes thy wordes forget, for ought that I doo may.
[verse 140]
So pure and perfect is thy word, as any hart can deme:
And I thy seruaunt nothing more, doo loue or yet esteme.
[verse 141]
And though I be nothing set by, as one of base degree:
Yet doo I not thy hestes forget, nor shrinke awaye from thee.
[verse 142]
Thy righteousnes (Lorde) is most iust for euer to endure:
Also thy law is truth it selfe, most constant and most pure.
[verse 143]
Trouble and grief haue seased on me, and brought me wondrous lowe:
yet doo I still of thy precepts, delyght to heare and know.
[verse 144]
The righteous of thy iudgements, doo last for euermore:
Then teache them me, for euen in them, my lyfe lyeth vp in store.
