Psalm 119:174

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

I long'd for thy salvation, Lord, and in thy law rejoice.

See the chapter Copy

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

I at thy word rejoice, as one of spoil that finds great store.

I of thy testimonies have above all things made choice, To be my heritage for aye; for they my heart rejoice.

And will delight myself always in thy laws, which I lov'd.

But placeth his delight Upon God's law, and meditates on his law day and night.

My soul for thy salvation faints; yet I thy word believe.

And let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live; Because thy holy laws to me sweet delectation give.

My comfort, and my heart's delight, thy testimonies be; And they, in all my doubts and fears, are counsellors to me.

Let thy sweet mercies also come and visit me, O Lord; Ev'n thy benign salvation, according to thy word.
