Psalms 119:37-44 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

37. Turn thou away my sight and eyesfrom viewing vanity;And in thy good and holy waybe pleas'd to quicken me.

38. Confirm to me thy gracious word,which I did gladly hear,Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who isdevoted to thy fear.

39. Turn thou away my fear'd reproach;for good thy judgments be.

40. Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd;in thy truth quicken me.

41. Let thy sweet mercies also comeand visit me, O Lord;Ev'n thy benign salvation,according to thy word.

42. So shall I have wherewith I maygive him an answer just,Who spitefully reproacheth me;for in thy word I trust.

43. The word of truth out of my mouthtake thou not utterly;For on thy judgments righteousmy hope doth still rely.

44. So shall I keep for evermorethy law continually.
