They practice no iniquity,but in God's ways they go:And we must serve thee diligentlyfor thou hast charg'd us so.
5, 6.
O that my ways were made direct,and to thy Statutes fram'd:Which when I generally respect,I shall not be asham'd.
With upright heart I'll give thee praise,and keep thy Laws aright:When I have learn'd thy righteous ways,O do not leave me quite.
(2. METRE.)
Psalm 119.1. All People, &c.
BLessed, O blessed are the purethat never from God's Laws depart:That keep his Testimonies sure,and seek him with a perfect heart.They also do no wickedness,but keep his Laws and never swerve:So strict a precept thou dost press,that we with care thy Laws observe.
O that my ways were made direct,and to thy Statutes rightly fram'd:Which when I wholly do respect,doubtless I shall not be asham'd:With upright heart I'll give thee praisewhen I have learn'd thy judgments right:And I will surely keep thy ways,O do not, Lord, forsake me quite.
