But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way:
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.
Horror took hold on me, because ill men thy law forsake.
The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness.
