 1. The statutes of the Lord are right
       and do rejoice the heart;
    The Lord's command is pure, and doth
       light to the eyes impart.

 Refrain:
    O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law!
    It is my meditation all the day;
    O How love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law;
    It is my meditation all the day.  all the day___

 2. Unspotted is the fear of God
       and ever doth endure;
    The judgements of the Lord are truth
       and righteousness most pure.

  Refrain

 3. They, more than gold, yea, much find gold,
       to be desir-ed are,
    than honey from the honey comb
       that droppeth sweeter far.

  Refrain

 4. Moreover, they Thy servant warn
       so he his life should frame;
    A great reward provided is
       for them that keep the same.

  Refrain

 5. O do not suffer sin to have
       dominion over me;
    I shall be righteous, then, and from
       the great transgression free.

  Refrain
