Psalm 119 (Version 03, Part 3)

Thou art my portion, O my God;

Soon as I know thy way,

My heart makes haste t' obey thy word,

And suffers no delay.

I choose the path of heavenly truth,

And glory in my choice:

Not all the riches of the earth

Could make me so rejoice.

The testimonies of thy grace

I set before my eyes;

Thence I derive my daily strength,

And there my comfort lies.

If once I wander from thy path,

I think upon my ways,

Then turn my feet to thy commands,

And trust thy pardoning grace.

Now I am thine, for ever thine,

O save thy servant, Lord;

Thou art my shield, my hiding-place,

My hope is in thy word.

Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine,

Thy statutes to fulfil;

And thus till mortal life shall end

Would I perform thy will.
