Psalm 119 (Version 02, Part 2)

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Psalm 119 Isaac Watts

Psalm Text

TO thee, before the dawning light,

My gracious God, I pray;

I meditate thy Name by night,

And keep thy law by day.

My spirit faints to see thy grace,

Thy promise bears me up;

And while salvation long delays,

Thy word supports my hope.

Seven times a day I lift my hands,

And pay my thanks to thee;

Thy righteous providence demands

Repeated praise from me.

When midnight darkness veils the skies,

I call thy works to mind;

My thoughts in warm devotion rise,

And sweet acceptance find.
