Psalms 119:39-48 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

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.

45. And, sith that I thy precepts seek,I'll walk at liberty.

46. I'll speak thy word to kings,and I with shame shall not be mov'd;

47. And will delight myself alwaysin thy laws, which I lov'd.

48. To thy commandments, which I lov'd,my hands lift up I will;And I will also meditateupon thy statutes still.
