I Hate The Thoughts Of Vanity
Psalm 119
Dwight Armstrong

I hate the tho'ts of vanity but I do love Thy law.
Thou art my shield and hiding place; I on Thy word rely.
All ye who evil doers are, from me depart away;
Because the precepts of my God I purpose to obey.

Uphold and strengthen me according to Thy faithful word;
That I may live and of Thy hope, may never be ashamed.
O, hold me safe, and ever in Thy will let me delight;
That for the statutes of my God I may have deep respect.

My God will set at naught all those who from His precepts stray;
For their own lies are all in vain, and they themselves deceive.
For all the wicked of the earth are counted but as dross;
And therefore do I love Thy law and testimonies pure.
