The hymn of the moment

Psalm 19:8-14

God's precepts are righteous and just,
rejocing the heart and the mind,
and all His commandments are pure,
enlightning the eyes of the blind.

The fear of the Lord is most clean,
for ever unmoved has it stood,
His judgements are perfect and true,
in all things most righteous and good.

Such treasures no gold can supply,
such sweetness no honey afford,
and they who its warnings obey,
shall find an abundant reward.

O who can his errors discern?
from hidden faults, Lord keep me free
let pride never reign in my heart,
and clear of great sin I shall be

I pray that my words and my thoughts,
may all with Your precepts accord,
and ever be pleasing to You,
my Rock, my Redeemer, my Lord

Psalter, 1912
