119P. I Have Followed Truth and Justice

1 I have followed truth and justice;
leave me not in deep distress;
be my help and my protection,
let the proud no more oppress.

2 For Thy word and Thy salvation,
Lord, my eyes with longing fail;
teach Thy statutes to Thy servant,
let Thy mercy now prevail.

3 I am Thine, O give me wisdom,
make me know Thy truth, I pray;
sinners have despised Thy statutes;
now, O LORD, Thy pow'r display.

4 Lord, I love Thy good commandments
and esteem them more than gold;
all Thy precepts are most righteous,
hating sin, to these I hold.
