Psalm 40:8

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

To do thy will I take delight, O thou my God that art; Yea, that most holy law of thine I have within my heart.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

And will delight myself always in thy laws, which I lov'd.

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

Praise ye the Lord. The man is bless'd that fears the Lord aright, He who in his commandements doth greatly take delight.
