Representative Text

1 Thy hands have made and fashion'd me,

Because I've made Thy law my choice.

2 Thy judgments, LORD, are good and wise,
You do in faithfulness chastise

3 Send me Thy mercies from above,

My unprovoked oppressors quell,
While I on all Thy precepts dwell.

4 Turn back to me again Thy seed,
Those who Thy testimonies heed;
In these O may my heart be sound,
That shame may never me confound.
