And live upon my God.

And hate my former sins.

When earthly joys were fled,
My soul, opprest with sorrow's weight,
Had sunk amongst the dead.

Though they may seem severe;
The sharpest sufferings I endure,
Flow from thy faithful care.
6 Before I knew thy chastening rod,
My feet were apt to stray;
But now I learn to keep thy word,
Nor wander from thy way. Scripture: Psalm 119:67 Languages: English

To speed me in thy way,
Lest I should loiter in my race,
Or turn my feet astray.
3 When sore afflictions press me down,
I need thy quickening powers;
Thy word that I have rested on
Shall help my heaviest hours.
4 Are not thy mercies sovereign still,
And thou a faithful God?
Wilt thou not grant me warmer zeal
To run the heavenly road?
5 Does not my heart thy precepts love,
And long to see thy face?
And yet how slow my spirits move
Without enlivening grace!
6 Then shall I love thy gospel more,
And ne'er forget thy word,
When I have felt its quickening power,
To draw me near the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 119:93 Languages: English

And tempt my soul to snares and sin,
Yet thy commands I ne'er decline.

They hate to see me love thy laws;
But I will trust and fear thy name,
Till pride and malice die with shame. Scripture: Psalm 119:78 Languages: English
