Lyrics: My soul delights in the scriptures;
In all I have seen and heard.
I continually ponder them in my heart
For I know they are God's word.

Yet, notwithstanding His goodness
In showing me His great plan,
My soul is grieved and my heart exclaims
"O wretched man that I am."

Because of sins and temptations
Which beset me so easily,
I desire to rejoice but my heart despairs
As I see my iniquity.

I know in God I have trusted;
My support from Heav'n above.
He has led me and preserved me
And has filled me with His love.

He has heard my cry by day
As I prayed so mightily.
He has given me knowledge and visions;
Sent angels to visit me.

In God I will put my trust
And not in the arm of flesh.
My voice shall forever ascend unto Him;
The rock of my righteousness.
