1 Thou, LORD, have dealt well with Thy servant,
Thy promise is faithful and just;
Instruct me in judgment and knowledge,
For in Thy commandments I trust.

2 Before my affliction I wandered,
But now Thy good Word I obey;
O You, Who are holy and gracious,
Now teach me Thy statutes, I pray.

Thy law is my joy and my treasure,
Though sinners may boast in their pride.

4 Affliction has been for my profit,
That I to Thy statues might hold;
Thy law to my soul is more precious
Than thousands of silver and gold.
