Psalm 119:24

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

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

See the chapter Copy

Unless in thy most perfect law my soul delights had found, I should have perished, when as my troubles did abound.

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

Moreover, they thy servant warn how he his life should frame: A great reward provided is for them that keep the same.

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

Trouble and anguish have me found, and taken hold on me: Yet in my trouble my delight thy just commandments be.

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