PSALM 119 (Part 8) sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: 10.9.10.9 trochaic
57 You, O LORD, are everything I’ve longed for;
I have promised to obey your word.
58 With my whole heart I have sought your favour;
as you promised, grant me grace, O LORD.
59 I have thought about my life and conduct,
and have turned my steps towards your way.
60 I will hasten and, without delaying,
your commands and statutes I’ll obey.
61 Though the wicked with their cords ensnare me,
I will not forget instruction’s voice.
62 I will rise to give you thanks at midnight,
for your righteous laws make me rejoice.
63 Those who fear you are my friends for ever,
all who follow in your precepts’ way.
64 Earth is filled with your great loving-kindness;
teach me your decrees, O LORD, I pray.
