53 Horror hath taken hold on me, When I mens evil saw; How obstinately wicked men, Hate and forsake thy Law.
54 The World hath been my pilgrimage; And as I past along, Thy sure conducting Statutes were, My guide, my joy and song.
55 Thy name I have remembered Lord, By night instead of sleep, And meditated in thy Law, Which I resolve to keep.
55 Thy name I have remembred Lord, By night instead of sleep, And meditated in thy Law, Which I resolve to keep.
56 This sweet employment and delight, By thee I did enjoy, ⟨p. 206⟩Because to mind and keep thy Laws, I did my Soul employ.
