L ORD, you have dealt well with your servant, your promise is faithful and just. Instruct me in judgment and knowledge, for in your commandments I trust. [Sing to the Lord 119:65-72]
2. Before my affliction I wandered, but now your good word I obey. O L ORD, you are good and you do good, now teach me your statutes, I pray.
3. The proud have assailed me with slander; your precepts shall still be my guide. Your law is my joy and my treasure, though sinners may boast in their pride.
4. Affliction has been for my profit, that I to your statutes may hold. Your law to my soul is more precious than thousands of silver and gold. Sing to the Lord 119:65-72 Public domain Text: Psalter Hymnal, 1957, alt. Tune: Dick L. Van Halsema, 1954, Psalter Hymnal, 1957
