119 (2)Psalm 119 Part 2
(verses 9-16)
LM
HOW shall the young direct their way?
   What light shall be their perfect guide?
Thy Word, O Lord, will safely lead,
    If in its wisdom they confide.
 
2  Sincerely I have sought Thee, Lord,
    O let me not from Thee depart;
To know Thy will and keep from sin,
    Thy Word I cherish in my heart.
 
3  O blessèd Lord, teach me Thy law,
    Thy righteous judgements I declare;
Thy testimonies make me glad,
    For they are wealth beyond compare.
 
4  Upon Thy precepts and Thy ways
    My heart will meditate with awe;
Thy Word shall be my chief delight,
    And I will not forget Thy law.
 
The Psalter, 1912
