Psalm 119:89–96
Lamed, the Twelfth Part

Tunes PCC uses:   York, London New 

 

89

Thy word for ever is, O Lord,

 

 

in heaven settled fast;

90

Unto all generations

 

 

thy faithfulness doth last:

 

The earth thou hast established,

 

 

and it abides by thee.

91

This day they stand as thou ordain’dst;

 

 

for all thy servants be.

 

92

Unless in thy most perfect law

 

 

my soul delights had found,

 

I should have perished, when as

 

 

my troubles did abound.

93

Thy precepts I will ne’er forget;

 

 

they quick’ning to me brought.

94

Lord, I am thine; O save thou me:

 

 

thy precepts I have sought.

 

95

For me the wicked have laid wait,

 

 

me seeking to destroy:

 

But I thy testimonies true

 

 

consider will with joy.

96

An end of all perfection

 

 

here have I seen, O God:

 

But as for thy commandement,

 

 

it is exceeding broad.
