From the beginning all thy word hath been most true and sure: Thy righteous judgments ev'ry one for evermore endure.
Eternal righteousness is in thy testimonies all: Lord, to me understanding give, and ever live I shall.
Thy righteousness is righteousness which ever doth endure: Thy holy law, Lord, also is the very truth most pure.
As for thy testimonies all, of old this have I try'd, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.
Thy testimonies thou command'st most faithful are and right.
Thy words all faithful are: help me, pursu'd without a cause.
That very right thy judgments are I know, and do confess; And that thou hast afflicted me in truth and faithfulness.
