Representative Text

1 Thy hands have made and fashion'd me,
Wise with Thy wisdom let me be;

Because I've made Thy law my choice.

2 Thy judgments, LORD, are good and wise,
You do in faithfulness chastise
O let Thy grace my comfort be,
According to Thy Word to me.

3 Send me Thy mercies from above,
That I may live;– Thy law I love;
My unprovoked oppressors quell,
While I on all Thy precepts dwell.

4 Turn back to me again Thy seed,
Those who Thy testimonies heed;
In these O may my heart be sound,
That shame may never me confound.
