צ TSADDI. The 18. part.

O Lord, thou art most righteous,Line 137 
thy judgements are upright.
Thy testimonies thou command'stLine 138 
most faithfull are and right.
My zeal hath ev'n consumed me,Line 139 
because mine enemies
Thy holy words forgotten have,
and do thy Laws despise.

Thy word's most pure, therefore on itLine 140 
thy servants love is set.
Small, and despis'd I am, yet ILine 141 
thy precepts not forget.
Thy righteousnesse, is righteousnesseLine 142 
which ever doth endure:
Thy holy Law, Lord, also is
the very truth most pure.

Trouble and anguish have me found,Line 143 
and taken hold on me:
Yet in my trouble my delight
thy just commandments be.
Eternall righteousnesse is inLine 144 
thy testimonies all:
Lord, to me understanding give,
and ever live I shall.
