Psalm 119

Samech, The 15th Part.

8,6,8,6

113I hate the thoughts of vanity,

but love thy law do I.

114My shield and hiding-place thou art:

I on thy word rely.

115All ye that evil-doers are

from me depart away;

For the commandments of my God

I purpose to obey.

116According to thy faithful word

uphold and stablish me,

That I may live, and of my hope

ashamed never be.

117Hold thou me up, so shall I be

in peace and safety still;

And to thy statutes have respect

continually I will.

118Thou tread'st down all that love to stray;

false their deceit doth prove.

119Lewd men, like dross, away thou putt'st;

therefore thy law I love.

120For fear of thee my very flesh

doth tremble, all dismay'd;

And of thy righteous judgments, Lord,

my soul is much afraid.
