To St. Marys Tune.
[verse 49] Remember, Lord, the faithful wordunto thy servant told:And whereupon thou causedst meto build my hope so bold. [verse 50] And only this my comfort is,in time of my distress:Because thy word shall quicken mein all my heaviness. [verse 51] Lo they deride that swell with pride,and scorn me very much:Yet have not I declin'd thy law,for fear of any such.
descriptionPage 293
[verse 52] I did record thy judgments, Lord,thy judgments wrought of old;And meditating thereupon,took comfort and grew bold. [verse 53] Yet horrid crimes like stormy timeshave taken hold on me:Because lewd men forsake the law,which is ordain'd by thee. [verse 54] Yet every where thy statutes weremy comfortable song,In places of my pilgrimagewhere I have past along. [verse 55] I did record thy name, O Lord,by night and kept thy laws. [verse 56] And this I had by keeping them,and for no other cause.
