But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth all thy commandments are.
God's near to all that call on him, in truth that on him call.
Thy righteousness is righteousness which ever doth endure: Thy holy law, Lord, also is the very truth most pure.
The Lord is ever nigh to them that be of broken sp'rit; To them he safety doth afford that are in heart contrite.
Thou know'st my sitting down, And rising up; yea, all my thoughts afar to thee are known.
To thee, O God, do we give thanks, we do give thanks to thee; Because thy wondrous works declare thy great name near to be.
God is our refuge and our strength, in straits a present aid;
Thy testimonies thou command'st most faithful are and right.
Eternal righteousness is in thy testimonies all: Lord, to me understanding give, and ever live I shall.
