Psalm 119:153

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Consider mine affliction, in safety do me set: Deliver me, O Lord, for I thy law do not forget.

See the chapter Copy

I, like a lost sheep, went astray; thy servant seek, and find: For thy commands I suffer'd not to slip out of my mind.

Lord, pity me; behold the grief which I from foes sustain; Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death dost raise me up again;

See how I love thy law! as thou art kind, me quicken, Lord.

Small, and despis'd I am, yet I thy precepts not forget.

Upon thy statutes my delight shall constantly be set: And, by thy grace, I never will thy holy word forget.

Consider thou my foes, because they many are; And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear.

Though still my soul be in my hand, thy laws I'll not forget.

It makes me wiser than my foes; for it doth with me stay.
