PSALM 119. Tenth Part. (C. M.) Pleading the Promises.

I

Behold thy waiting servant, Lord,
Devoted to thy fear;
Remember and comfirm thy word,
For all my hopes are there.
[_]

38, 49.

I

Hast thou not writ salvation down,
And promis'd quickening grace?
Doth not my heart address thy throne?
And yet thy love delays.
[_]

41, 58, 107.

III

Mine eyes for thy salvation fail;
O bear thy servant up;
Nor let the scoffing lips prevail,
Who dare reproach my hope.
[_]

123, 42.

IV

Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
Then let thy truth appear:
Saints shall rejoice in my reward,
And trust as well as fear.
[_]

49, 74.
