I Lift My Eyes (121)

The `LORD_ / is my portion.

`I have promised to o / bey your words.

`I have sought your favor with my / whole~ heart.

Be `merciful to me according / to your word.

`I considered / my~ ways,

and `turned my steps_ / to your statutes.

`I will hurry, and_ / not delay,

`to obey_ / your commandments.

(Ref)

The `ropes_ of the wicked / bind~ me,

but `I will not for / get your law.

At `midnight I will rise to give_ / thanks to you,

be `cause of your_ / righteous judgments.

`I_ am a friend to all  who / fear~ you,

of `those_ who ob / serve your precepts.

The `earth is full_ of your loving / kindness, LORD.

`Teach_ / me your statutes.
