I Have Followed Truth and Justice

Verse 1

I have followed truth and justice; leave me not in deep distress; be my help and my protection, let the proud no more oppress.

Verse 2

For Thy word and Thy salvation, Lord, my eyes with longing fail; teach Thy statutes to Thy servant, let Thy mercy now prevail.

Verse 3

I am Thine, O give me wisdom, make me know Thy truth, I pray; sinners have despised Thy statutes; now, O LORD, Thy pow'r display.

Verse 4

Lord, I love Thy good commandments and esteem them more than gold; all Thy precepts are most righteous, hating sin, to these I hold.
