Trouble and anguish have me found, and taken hold on me: Yet in my trouble my delight thy just commandments be.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: Yet thy commandments are my delights.
Trouble and anguish have found and taken hold on me, yet Your commandments are my delight.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; Yet thy commandments are my delight.
Stress and strain have caught up with me, but your commandments are my joy!
Of death the cords and sorrows did about me compass round; The pains of hell took hold on me, I grief and trouble found.
I am with sore affliction ev'n overwhelm'd, O Lord: In mercy raise and quicken me, according to thy word.
Upon thy statutes my delight shall constantly be set: And, by thy grace, I never will thy holy word forget.
And will delight myself always in thy laws, which I lov'd.
And let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live; Because thy holy laws to me sweet delectation give.
Lord, from the depths to thee I cry'd.
