GOD’S precepts are righteous and just, Rejoicing the heart and the mind; And all His commandments are pure, Enlight’ning the eyes of the blind.
The fear of the Lord is most clean, For ever unmoved has it stood; His judgements are perfect and true, In all things most righteous and good.
Such treasure no gold can supply, Such sweetness no honey afford; And they who its warnings obey, Shall find an abundant reward.
O who can his errors discern? From hidden faults, Lord, keep me free; Let pride never reign in my heart, And clear of great sin I shall be.
I pray that my words and my thoughts May all with Thy precepts accord, And ever be pleasing to Thee, My Rock, my Redeemer, my Lord.
The Psalter, 1912
