English poem
Twenty-first PART. SCHIN
by John Barnard (1815–1882)
Princes me, causeless, persecute; My Heart, in Awe of thy Word, stands. I in thy Word rejoice; as one That mighty Spoils of War commands. All Falshood hate I, and detest; But thy just Law, sincerely love. Sev'n Times a Day I Thee will praise; Because thy Judgments righteous prove. Great Peace have they that love thy Law; No stumbling Stone shall them offend. For thy Salvation, Lord, I hope; And thy Commands with Care attend. My Soul thy Testimonies kept; And them I love with great Delight. Thy Law, and Word, I have observ'd; For all my Ways are in thy Sight.
