Patient Endurance and Submission

Verse 1

My soul for Thy salvation faints, but still I hope in Thee; I long to see Thy promised help, when Thou shalt comfort me.

Verse 2

Thy statues I do not forget, though wasting grief I know; Thy servant's days are few, O Lord; when wilt Thou judge my foe?

Verse 3

The proud, disdainful of Thy law, entrap me wrongfully; O Thou, whose law is just and true, help and deliver me.

Verse 4

Almost consumed, yet from Thy law I have not turned away; in lovingkindness give me strength, that I may still obey.
