I Lift My Eyes (121)

`You have treated your_ / servant well,

ac `cording to your / word~, LORD.

`Teach me good_ judgment / and~ knowledge,

for `I believe in / your commandments.

Be `fore I was afflicted, I_ / went astray;

but `now I / keep your word.

`You are good_, / and do good.

`Teach_ / me your statutes.

(Ref)

The `proud have smeared a lie up / on~ me.

`With my whole_ heart_, I will / keep your precepts.

Their `heart is callous / and unfeeling,

but `I delight_ / in your law.

`It is good for me that I have / been afflicted,

that `I may / learn your statutes.

The `law_ of your mouth is better / to~ me 

than `thousands of pieces of / gold and silver.
