Metaphor in Context
Of all Thy Præcepts will I meditate,
And have respect to all Thy Wayes;
Thy Statutes my delight, and love shall raise,
And at Thy Oracle I'll ever waite:
Within my heart Thy love shall gain,
Such conquests, that the Trophies shall like Heav'n remain.
And have respect to all Thy Wayes;
Thy Statutes my delight, and love shall raise,
And at Thy Oracle I'll ever waite:
Within my heart Thy love shall gain,
Such conquests, that the Trophies shall like Heav'n remain.
