When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;\par\tab When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee;\par\tab And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Discretion shall watch over thee;\par\tab Understanding shall keep thee:
Thy word have I laid up in my heart,\par\tab That I might not sin against thee.
Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches,\par\tab That I might meditate on thy word.
{\b BETH.}\par\par\tab Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way?\par\tab By taking heed {\i thereto} according to thy word.
Thy statutes have been my songs\par\tab In the house of my pilgrimage.
Thy testimonies also are my delight\par\tab {\i And} my counsellors.\par
Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:\par\tab Let them bring me unto thy holy hill,\par\tab And to thy tabernacles.
{\b MEM.}\par\par\tab Oh how love I thy law!\par\tab It is my meditation all the day.
As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips\par\tab I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people\par\tab That have set themselves against me round about.
