Hold thou me up, so shall I be in peace and safety still; And to thy statutes have respect continually I will.
Then shall I not be sham'd, when I thy precepts all respect.
Thou from the womb didst hold me up; thou art the same that me Out of my mother's bowels took; I ever will praise thee.
Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead, thy right hand hold shall me.
Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide in those thy paths divine, So that my footsteps may not slide out of those ways of thine.
To thy commandments, which I lov'd, my hands lift up I will; And I will also meditate upon thy statutes still.
Nevertheless continually, O Lord, I am with thee: Thou dost me hold by my right hand, and still upholdest me.
His judgments were before me, I his laws put not from me.
