Though like a stranger in the land, For Thy commands have always been My comfort and delight; By them I learn, with prudent care, To guide my steps aright. CXIX. IV. (105. 108. 111, 112.) N. v. THY Word is to my feet a lamp, The way of truth to show; Let still my sacrifice of praise With Thee acceptance find; Thy testimonies I have made Thy statutes to obey; V. (169. 173, 174, 175.) N. v. TO my request and earnest cry, Attend, O gracious Lord; Let Thy Almighty arm appear, My heart's free choice have made. My soul has waited long to see Thy saving grace restored; Prolong my life, that I may sing CXXI. EXCEPT the Lord the house defend, In vain their toil the builders spend; Early ye rise and late take rest, And eat your bread with cares oppress'd; Lo! children too are from the Lord, The children round the parents stand. He from his foes shall not refrain, KÖPHL. 1587. |
