LAMED. The twelfth Part.

[verse 89] In heaven, Lord, where thou dost dwell, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thy word is stablisht sure: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And shall for all e-ter-nity, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 fast graven there endure. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 90] From age to age thy truth abides, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 as doth the earth witness: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Whose ground-work thou hast laid so sure, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 as no tongue can express. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 91] Ev'n to this day we may well see 〈♫〉〈♫〉 how all things persevere 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Accor∣ding to thine Ordinance, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 for all things thee revere. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 92] Had it not been that in thy law 〈♫〉〈♫〉 my soul had comfort sought: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Long time e're now in my distress 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I had been brought to nought. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 93] Therefore will I thy precepts aye 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in memory keep fast: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 By them thou hast my life restor'd 〈♫〉〈♫〉 when I was at last cast. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 94] No wight to me can ti-tle make, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 for I am on-ly thine: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Save me therefore, for to thy laws, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 mine ears and heart incline. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 95] The wicked men do seek my bane, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and thereto lie in wait: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 But I the while con-si-de-red 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Thy noble works and great. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 96] I see nothing in this wide world, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 at length which hath not end: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 But thy commandments and thy word 〈♫〉〈♫〉 beyond all end extend. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
