Tho’ they may seem severe;
The sharpest sufferings I endure
Flow from thy faithful care.

6 Before I knew thy chastening rod
My feet were apt to stray;
But now I learn to keep thy word,
Nor wander from thy way.

Might dwell upon my mind! 
Thence I derive a quickening power,
And daily peace I find.

2 To meditate thy precepts, Lord,
Shall be my sweet employ;
My soul shall ne’er forget thy word,
Thy word is all my joy.

If thou my heart discharge
From sin and Satan’s hateful chains,
And set my feet at large!

4 My lips with courage shall declare
Thy statutes and thy Name;
I’ll speak thy word, tho’ kings should hear
Nor yield to sinful shame.

To rob me of my right,
Let pride and malice forge their lies,
Thy law is my delight.

Whose hands and hearts are ill;
I love my God, I love his ways,
And must obey his will.

1 My soul lies cleaving to the dust;
Lord, give me life divine;
From vain desires and every lust
Turn off these eyes of mine.

To speed me in thy way,
Lest I should loiter in my race,
Or turn my feet astray.

Ver. 107.
3 When sore afflictions press me down,
I need thy quickening powers;
Thy word that I have rested on
shall help my heaviest hours.

And thou a faithful God? 
Wilt thou not grant me warmer zeal
To run the heavenly road?

Ver. 159 40.
5 Does not my heart thy precepts love,
And long to see thy face? 
And yet how slow my spirits move
Without enlivening grace!

6 Then shall I love thy gospel more,
And ne’er forget thy word,
When I have felt its quickening power
To draw me near the Lord.

Psalm 119:17.  Seventeenth Part.  Courage and perseverance under persecution; or, Grace shining in difficulties and trials.

1 When pain and anguish seize me, Lord,
All my support is from thy word: 
My soul dissolves for heaviness,
Uphold me with thy strengthening grace.

Ver. 51 69 110.
2 The proud have fram’d their scoffs and lies,
They watch my feet with envious eyes,
And tempt my soul to snares and sin,
Yet thy commands I ne’er decline.

Ver. 161 78.
3 They hate me, Lord, without a cause,
They hate to see me love thy laws: 
But I will trust and fear thy Name,
Till pride and malice die with shame.
