Psalm 119 Part 10

Behold thy waiting servant, Lord, Devoted to thy fear; Remember and confirm thy word, For all my hopes are there.

Hast thou not writ salvation down, And promised quick'ning ? Doth not my heart address thy throne? And yet thy love delays.

Mine eyes for thy salvation fail; O bear thy servant up! Nor let the scoffing lips prevail Who dare reproach my hope.

Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord? Then let thy truth appear: shall rejoice in my reward, And trust as well as fear.
