Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness Constant and unchangeable, the same in all ages and places, and to all persons; of eternal truth and justice never to be dispensed with, nor to be made void. And thy law is truth Nothing but truth, or as true as truth itself. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me Outward trouble and anguish of spirit; or great anguish and distress. Yet thy commandments are my delights My trouble and anguish do not take away my taste for the comforts of thy word: but I can still relish them, and find that peace and pleasure in them, which all the calamities of this present life cannot deprive me of. Indeed, the saints have frequently the sweetest enjoyment of the delights which there are in God's word, when they are in a state of trouble and distress. Give me understanding, and I shall live I shall be kept from those sins which bring spiritual death, and expose to eternal death: I shall live a life of grace here, and glory hereafter.
