Thou, who didst make and fa­shion me,
O make me wise Thy law to learn;
Then they that fear Thee shall be glad
When they my hope in God dis­cern.

Thou, Lord, art just in all Thy ways,
And faith­ful when Thou chast­en­est me;
I pray Thee, let Thy pro­mised grace
Thy ser­vant’s help and com­fort be.

Show mer­cy, Lord, that I may live,
For in Thy law is all my joy;
While those who wrong me are re­buked,
Thy pre­cepts shall my thought em­ploy.

Let those that fear Thee turn to me,
Thy truth to them will I pro­claim;
Instruct my heart to keep Thy law,
That I may not be put to shame.
