Text · Psalm 119
True Love for the Word
O Lord, Thy perfect righteousness
from The Psalter, 1912 · 8.6.8.6
1.O Lord, Thy perfect righteousness
Is in thy judgments shown;
In Thy unchanging faithfulness
Thy truth Thou hast made known.
2.Because Thy foes forget Thy law
My soul is greatly stirred;
Thy servant loves the purity
Of Thy most holy word.
3.Tho' I am humble and despised,
I strive Thy will to do;
Eternal is Thy righteousness,
And all Thy law is true.
4.Delight amid distress and pain
Do Thy commandments give;
Thy word is righteous evermore,
Teach me that I may live.
