The Psalter ‎#328

328. God the Portion of the Soul

1 Thou art my portion, Lord;
Thy words I ever heed;
With all my heart Thy grace I seek,
Thy promises I plead.

2 I thought upon my ways,
Thy testimonies learned;
With earnest haste, and waiting not,
To Thy commands I turned.

3 While snares beset my path,
Thy law I keep in view;
At midnight I will give Thee praise
For all Thy judgments true.

4 All those who fear Thy Name
Shall my companions be;
Thy mercy fills the earth, O Lord;
Thy statutes teach Thou me.
