Psalm 119:55

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Thy name by night, Lord, I did mind, and I have kept thy law.

See the chapter Copy

When I do thee upon my bed remember with delight, And when on thee I meditate in watches of the night.

His loving-kindness yet the Lord command will in the day, His song's with me by night; to God, by whom I live, I'll pray:

If I should count them, than the sand they more in number be: What time soever I awake, I ever am with thee.

Give understanding unto me, so keep thy law shall I; Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall observe it carefully.

With me thy servant, in thy grace, deal bountifully, Lord: That by thy favor I may live, and duly keep thy word.

By night my song I call to mind, and commune with my heart; My sp'rit did carefully enquire how I might ease my smart.

So shall I keep for evermore thy law continually.
