119 (15)	Psalm 119 Part 15 (verses 129-136)	LM
	O HOW the wonders of Thy law    My soul to rapt obedience awe! These streams of purest knowledge yield The Truth, in full display, revealed.
2	With growing thirst, my spirit yearned, And with an opening mind I turned To Thy great precepts, wise and true, And life-imparting grace I drew.
3	By these do souls untaught before To heights of heavenly wisdom soar; What depths and heights Thy saints can know! Such grace on me, great God, bestow.
4	Thy dictates to my soul convey, And to them all conform my way; Redeem from error’s lore my mind, Leaving no falsehood there behind.
5	Lord, save me from oppression’s hand, Make me obey Thy wise command; O may Thy love upon me shine, And make those paths of knowledge mine.
	James Merrick, 1720-69
