Unless thy law had been my delight Unless I had known, believed, and delighted in it, as the subject of my meditation; I should then At the very instant; have perished in mine affliction My heart would have failed me, and I should have been undone; I could not have outlived one stroke of thine afflicting hand. I will never forget thy precepts I will always retain a remembrance of, and a regard to, thy word, as my rule; for with them thou hast quickened me Revived and cheered me when my heart was ready to sink and die within me. I am thine By creation, redemption, and manifold obligations; as also by my own choice and designation. I have devoted myself to thy service, and committed myself to thy care. Save me Both from sin and ruin. Those that in sincerity give up themselves to God, to be his subjects and servants, obeying his will and living to his glory, may be sure that he will protect them and preserve them to his heavenly kingdom, Malachi 3:17. The wicked have waited to destroy me Watching for an opportunity so to do; but I will consider thy testimonies As my best counsellors and comforters, and also my defenders against the designs and assaults of mine enemies.
