All        Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.

 

Pastor    The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law.

When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O LORD.  Hot

indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.

Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning.

 

All          I remember your name in the night, O LORD, and keep your law.  This

blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.
