Psalm 119. v. 161, to 168. (21. PART)
The watchfulness of Saints.
PRinces have persecuted mewithout a cause, O Lord,Yet stands my heart in awe of thee,and trembles at thy word.And in that word, Lord, all the whileI did as much rejoyce,As he that finds the greatest spoil,and bears away the choice.
But lying Doctrines of deceitI ever have abhorr'd:While my affection is full greatunto thy Law, O Lord:And surely seven times a dayI will give thanks to thee,Because thy judgments do displaysuch righteousness to me.
All they that love thy Law to findsuch great content and peace,That nothing shall offend their mindto make their comforts cease:
descriptionPage 639
And for thy sweet salvation,Lord, I have waited still,And led my conversationaccording to thy will.
My soul hath kept with constancythy laws in every part,I love them so exceedingly,and from my very heart.Thy Testimonies I have kept,thy precepts I pursue,For thou beholdst me every step,and seest what 'ere I do.
