Thirteenth PART. MEM

Oh! how I love thy sacred Law! It daily my sweet Study grows. By thy Word, ever with me, thou Hast made me wiser than my Foes. More than my Teachers all I know; For I thy Statutes closely weigh'd. Than ancient Sages more I see; Because thy Precepts I obey'd. From all ill Paths I have refrain'd My Feet; that I might keep thy Word. I have not from thy Judgments stray'd; Because 'tis thou hast taught me Lord. How sweet thy Words are to my Taste! Than Honey sweeter to my Mouth! I, by thy Precepts, Wisdom gain; And hate the Ways that swerve from Truth.
