Regard my grief and res­cue me,
For I do not for­get Thy laws;
As Thou hast pro­mised, save me, Lord,
Redeem my soul, and plead my cause.

Far is sal­va­tion from the men
Who do not seek Thy sta­tutes, Lord;
Great are Thy mer­cies, quick­en me
According to Thy ho­ly Word.

I bear the spite of many foes,
Yet from Thy law I do not swerve;
I saw the faith­less and was grieved,
For they Thy Word do not ob­serve.

Behold how I Thy pre­cepts love!
In kind­ness, Lord, rev­ive Thou me;
The sum of all Thy Word is truth;
Thy Word abides eter­nal­ly.
