PSALM 119. Seventeenth Part. (L. M.) Courage and Perseverance under Persecution; or, Grace shining in Difficulties and Trials.

I

When pain and anguish seize me, Lord,
All my support is from thy word:
My soul dissolves for heaviness,
Uphold me with thy strengthening grace.

[_]

143, 28.

II

The proud have fram'd their scoffs and lies,
They watch my feet with envious eyes,
And tempt my soul to snares and sin,
Yet thy commands I ne'er decline.

[_]

51, 69, 110.

III

They hate me, Lord, without a cause,
They hate to see me love thy laws;
But I will trust and fear thy name,
Till pride and malice die with shame.

161, 78.
