ח CHETH. The 8. part.
Thou my sure portion art alone,Line 57 which I did choose, O Lord:I have resolv'd and said, that Iwould keep thy holy word.With my whole heart I did intreatLine 58 thy face, and favour free:According to thy gracious wordbe mercifull to me.
I thought upon my former wayes,Line 59 and did my life well try:And to thy testimonies puremy feet then turned I.I did not stay, nor linger long,Line 60 as those that slothfull are,But hastily thy Laws to keepmy self I did prepare.
descriptionPage 250
Bands of ill men me robb'd; yet ILine 61 thy precepts did not slight.I'le rise at midnight, thee to praise,Line 62 ev'n for thy judgements right.I am companion to all those,Line 63 who fear, and thee obey.O Lord, thy mercy fills the earth:Line 64 teach me thy Laws, I pray.
