The 12. part. * 1.1

 [verse 89]  The word which thou hast spoken, Lord, still stedfast is and sure;
As in the heavens constant course it ever doth endure.
 [verse 90]  Thy faithfulnesse doth stedfast stand to ev'ry generation;
Even as the earth abides, since thou didst stablish her foundation.

 [verse 91]  These things unto this present day we may continuing see;
According to thine ordinance, for all thy servants be.
 [verse 92]  Unlesse in thy most perfect law my soule had found delight;
When I in great affliction was, I should have perish't quite.

 [verse 93]  Thy holy precepts never shall by me forgotten be:
For thou, when heavie was my soule, by them hast quickned me.
 [verse 94]  Thine owne am I, and therefore me thy son and servant save;
For with a great and servent love thy precepts sought I have.

 [verse 95]  For me the wicked men did wait, and sought me to destroy:
But I thy testimonies true will think upon with joy.
 [verse 96]  Of all perfection here on earth, there is an end I see;
But thy commandements very large, and everlasting be.
