Psalms 119:59-69 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

59. I thought upon my former ways,and did my life well try;And to thy testimonies puremy feet then turned I.

60. I did not stay, nor linger long,as those that slothful are;But hastily thy laws to keepmyself I did prepare.

61. Bands of ill men me robb'd; yet Ithy precepts did not slight.

62. I'll rise at midnight thee to praise,ev'n for thy judgments right.

63. I am companion to all thosewho fear, and thee obey.

64. O Lord, thy mercy fills the earth:teach me thy laws, I pray.

65. Well hast thou with thy servant dealt,as thou didst promise give.

66. Good judgment me, and knowledge teach,for I thy word believe.

67. Ere I afflicted was I stray'd;but now I keep thy word.

68. Both good thou art, and good thou do'st:teach me thy statutes, Lord.

69. The men that are puff 'd up with prideagainst me forg'd a lie;Yet thy commandements observewith my whole heart will I.
