“To do thy will I take delight”

A Scottish Metrical Psalm
Psalm 40 verses 8 to 11
  1. To do thy will I take delight,
         O thou my God that art;
    Yea, that most holy law of thine
         I have within my heart.
  1. Within the congregation great
         I righteousness did preach:
    Lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I
         refrained not my speech.
  1. I never did within my heart
         conceal thy righteousness;
    I thy salvation have declar'd,
         and shown thy faithfulness:
  1. Thy kindness, which most loving is,
         concealed have not I,
    Nor from the congregation great
         have hid thy verity.
  1. Thy tender mercies, Lord, from me
         O do thou not restrain;
    Thy loving-kindness,and thy truth,
         Let them me still maintain.
