[verse 107] Affliction hath me sore opprest, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and brought me to death's door: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 O Lord, as thou hast promised, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 so me to life restore. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 108] The offerings which with heart and voice, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 most frankly I thee give: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Accept, and teach me how I may 〈♫〉〈♫〉 after thy judgments live. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 109] My soul is aye so in my hand, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that dangers me assail: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Yet do I not thy law forget, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 nor it to keep will fail: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 110] Although the wicked laid their nets 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to catch me at a bay: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Yet did I not from thy pre∣cepts 〈♫〉〈♫〉 once swerve or go astray. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 111] Thy law I have so claim'd alway, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 As mine own he-ri-tage: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And why? for therein I delight, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and set my whole courage. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 112] For evermore I have been bent 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thy statutes to fulfill: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Ev'n so likewise un-to the nd, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I will con-ti-nue still. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
