Though still my soul be in my hand, thy laws I'll not forget.
My soul is continually in my hand: Yet do I not forget thy law.
My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law.
My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law.
Though my life is constantly in danger, I won’t forget your Instruction.
Hold thou me up, so shall I be in peace and safety still; And to thy statutes have respect continually I will.
As for thy testimonies all, of old this have I try'd, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.
Upon thy statutes my delight shall constantly be set: And, by thy grace, I never will thy holy word forget.
For like a bottle I'm become, that in the smoke is set: I'm black, and parch'd with grief; yet I thy statutes not forget.
