Psalm 119:38

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Confirm to me thy gracious word, which I did gladly hear, Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who is devoted to thy fear.

See the chapter Copy

But in all those that do him fear the Lord doth pleasure take; In those that to his mercy do by hope themselves betake.

But unto them that do him fear God's mercy never ends; And to their children's children still his righteousness extends:

Such pity as a father hath unto his children dear; Like pity shews the Lord to such as worship him in fear.

For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are:

He will accomplish the desire of those that do him fear: He also will deliver them, and he their cry will hear.

Remember, Lord, thy gracious word thou to thy servant spake, Which, for a ground of my sure hope, thou causedst me to take.

This word of thine my comfort is in mine affliction: For in my straits I am reviv'd by this thy word alone.

O let thy kindness merciful, I pray thee, comfort me, As to thy servant faithfully was promised by thee.

After thy word revive thou me: save me, and plead my cause.
