119:121-128a. Truth, LORD, and Justice

1 Truth, LORD, and justice rule my life:
O save me from the sons of strife!
Be Thou Thy servant's guard and guide,
And save me from the sons of pride!

2 Attendant on Thy Word mine eyes
Fail, till Thy saving health arise.
Thy tender love, O LORD, display,
And lead Thy servant in Thy way.

3 Thy servant I! Thy light bestows,
Grant me Thy Word of truth to know;
And lo! the time demands Thy might,
For impious men Thy statutes slight.

4 But I– Thy laws more dear I hold,
Than golden ore, or massive gold;
Keep the straight path prescribed by God,
And loath the crooked ways of fraud.
