Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119

Verse 1

O that your statutes, every hour, might dwell upon my mind! God, I would feel a quickening power, and peace is there, to find. To think upon your precepts, Lord, shall be my sweet employ; my soul will not forget your word; your word is all my joy.

Verse 2

My lips with courage shall declare your statutes and your name; I’ll speak your word! Though kings may hear, it will not cause me shame. Depart from me, all wickedness, all hands and hearts of ill; I love my God! I love God’s ways! I love to do God’s will!
