Thy word for ever is, O Lord,
in heaven settled fast;
Unto all generations
thy faithfulness doth last:
The earth thou hast established,
and it abides by thee.
This day they stand as thou ordain’dst;
for all thy servants be.
Unless in thy most perfect law
my soul delights had found,
I should have perished, when as
my troubles did abound.
Thy precepts I will ne’er forget;
they quick’ning to me brought.
Lord, I am thine; O save thou me:
thy precepts I have sought.
For me the wicked have laid wait,
me seeking to destroy:
But I thy testimonies true
consider will with joy.
An end of all perfection
here have I seen, O God:
But as for thy commandement,
it is exceeding broad.
