1. Eternal is your word, O Lord; in heav’n it stands forever sure
Eternal is your word, O Lord; in heav’n it stands forever sure. Your faithfulness will never fail; the earth you founded to endure. Your laws continue to this day; your sov’reign will all things obey.
[Sing to the Lord 119:89-96]

2. I would have died in misery. I never will forget your laws,
2. Had not your law been my delight,
I would have died in misery.
I never will forget your laws,
for by them you have rescued me.
Lord, I am yours – save me, I pray,
for I have sought your precepts’ way.

3. destruction threatens at their hands.
3. The wicked lie in wait for me;
destruction threatens at their hands.
But yet, in spite of all their threats,
I will reflect on your commands.
Perfection’s limits I have found,
but your commandments have no bound.
