PSALM 119. First Part. C.M.
The blessedness of saints, and misery of sinners. (cont.)

1	BLEST are the undefil'd in heart,    Whose ways are right and clean; Who never from thy law depart,    But fly from ev'ry sin.
2	Blest are the men that keep thy word,    And practise thy commands; With their whole heart they seek the Lord,    And serve him with their hands.
3	Great is their peace who love thy law,    How firm their souls abide! Nor can a bold temptation draw    Their steady feet aside.
4	Then shall my heart have inward joy,    And keep my face from shame; When all thy statutes I obey,    And honour all thy name.
5	But haughty sinners God will hate;    The proud shall die accurst: The sons of falsehood and deceit    Are trodden to the dust.
6	Vile as the dross the wicked are;    And those that leave thy ways Shall see salvation from afar,    But never taste thy grace,

PSALM 119. Second Part. C.M.
Spiritual mindedness.

1	TO thee, before the dawning light,    My gracious God, I pray; I meditate thy name by night,    And keep thy law by day.
2	My spirit faints to see thy grace,    Thy promise bears me up;

PSALM 119. Second Part. C.M.
Spiritual mindedness. (cont.)

2	And, while salvation long delays,    Thy word supports my hope.
3	Seven times a-day I lift my hands,    And pay my thanks to thee: Thy righteous providence demands    Repeated praise from me.
4	When midnight darkness veils the skies,    I call thy works to mind; My thoughts in warm devotion rise,    And sweet acceptance find.

PSALM 119. Third Part. C.M.
Repentance and obedience.

1	THOU art my portion, O my God:    Soon as I know thy way, My heart makes haste t' obey thy word,    And suffers no delay.
2	I choose the path of heav'nly truth,    And glory in my choice: Not all the riches of the earth    Could make me so rejoice.
3	The testimonies of thy grace,    I set before mine eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength,    And there my comfort lies.
4	If once I wander from thy path,    I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to thy commands,    And trust thy pard'ning grace.
5	Now I am thine, for ever thine,    O save thy servant, Lord! Thou art my shield, my hiding-place;    My hope is in thy word.
6	Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine,    Thy statutes to fulfil:
