                      I Hate the Thoughts of Vanity
                               Psalm 119


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

2.   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.

3.   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.
