Psalms of Grace ‎#119:113-120a

119:113-120a. Deceit and Falsehood I Abhor

1 Deceit and falsehood I abhor,
But love Thy law, Thy truth revealed;
My steadfast hope is in Thy Word;
You are my refuge and my shield;
The paths of sin I have not trod,
But kept the precepts of my God.

2 According to Thy gracious Word
Uphold me, Lord, deliver me;
O do not let me be ashamed
Of patient hope and trust in Thee;
O hold Thou me, and I shall stand
And ever follow Thy command.

3 The wayward You have set at naught
Who vainly wander from the right;
The wicked You do count as dross;
Thy just decrees are my delight;
For fear of Thee I stand in awe
And reverence Thy most holy law.
