Believer's Comfort in Trouble

Scripture

KJV

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

ESV

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

Psalm 119:50

Poem

Thus trusting in thy word, I tread
The narrow path of duty on;
What though some cherished joys are fled?
What though some flattering dreams are gone?
Yet purer, brighter joys remain:
Why should my spirit then complain?
