I have fol­lowed truth and jus­tice;
Leave me not in deep dis­tress;
Be my help and my pro­tect­ion,
Let the proud no more op­press.
For Thy Word and Thy sal­va­tion,
Lord, my eyes with long­ing fail;
Teach Thy sta­tutes to Thy ser­vant,
Let Thy mer­cy now pre­vail.

I am Thine, O give me wis­dom,
Make me know Thy truth, I pray;
Sinners have des­pised Thy sta­tues;
Now, O Lord, Thy power dis­play.
Lord, I love Thy good com­mand­ments
And es­teem them more than gold;
All Thy pre­cepts are most right­eous;
Hating sin, to these I hold.
