ZADE.
In ev'ry thing. Lord, thou art just,
although the wicked grudge;
And when thou dost sentence pronounce,
thou art a righteous Judge.
To render right, and free from guile,
are two chief points most high;
And such as thou hast in thy law
commanded us strictly.
My zeal hath e'en consumèd me,
and I am pined away,
Because my foes thy word forget,
and will it not obey.
Thy word is very pure, and doth
greatly my heart rejoice;
Therefore thy servant nothing more
can love or make my choice.
And though I be nothing set by,
as one of base degree;
Yet do I not thy laws forget,
nor shrink away from thee.
Thy truth and righteousness, O Lord,
for ever shall endure;
Also thy 1aw is truth itself,
most constant and most pure.
Anguish and grief have seized on me,
and brought me very low;
Yet all thy precepts do I still
delight to hear and know.
The righteousness of thy commands
doth last for evermore;
Then teach them me, because in them
my life lies up in store.
