After thy loving-kindness, Lord, me quicken, and preserve: The testimony of thy mouth so shall I still observe.
The whole paths of the Lord are truth and mercy sure, To those that do his cov'nant keep, and testimonies pure.
Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd; in thy truth quicken me.
My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me, according to thy word.
See how I love thy law! as thou art kind, me quicken, Lord.
I cry'd to thee; save me, and I will keep thy laws alway.
Blessed are they who to observe his statutes are inclin'd; And who do seek the living God with their whole heart and mind.
His testimony and his law in Isr'el he did place, And charg'd our fathers it to show to their succeeding race;
My cov'nant if thy sons will keep, and laws to them made known, Their children then shall also sit for ever on thy throne.
In mercy with thy servant deal, thy laws me teach and show.
After thy loving-kindness hear my voice, that calls on thee: According to thy judgment, Lord, revive and quicken me.
