Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119f (1766) Lyrics: 1 Lord, I esteem thy Judgments right,
And all thy Statutes just;
Thence I maintain a constant Fight
With ev'ry flatt'ring Lust.
2 Thy Precepts often I survey;
I keep thy Law in Sight,
Through all the Business of the Day,
To form my Actions right.
3 My Heart in Midnight Silence cries,
"How sweet thy Comforts be;"
My Thoughts in holy Wonder rise,
And bring their Thanks to Thee.
4 And when my Spirit drinks her Fill,
At some good Word of thine,
Not mighty Men that share the Spoil
Have Joys compar'd to mine. Topics: Meditation; Counsel and Support from God; Delight in Law of God; Midnight thoughts; Scripture holiness and comfort from it Scripture: Psalm 119:162 Languages: English
