Psalm 119:89-96

Der Tag bricht an L.M. (Melchior Vulpius, 1560-1616)

89 Eternal is your word, O LORD;
in heav’n it stands for ever sure.
90 Your faithfulness will never fail
and earth you founded to endure.

91 Your works endure until this day
your purpose is served by all things.
92 Had not your law been my delight,
I’d long have died from suffering.

93 Your precepts I will not forget,
for, through them you preserved my life.
94 Save me, for I am yours, O LORD!
I’ve sought your precepts as my light.

95 The wicked wait to destroy me,
but your statutes I will hold fast.
96 To all perfection, there’s an end,
but your commandments are so vast.
