Psalm 119:67

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Ere I afflicted was I stray'd; but now I keep thy word.

See the chapter Copy

It hath been very good for me that I afflicted was, That I might well instructed be, and learn thy holy laws.

That very right thy judgments are I know, and do confess; And that thou hast afflicted me in truth and faithfulness.

I, like a lost sheep, went astray; thy servant seek, and find: For thy commands I suffer'd not to slip out of my mind.
