Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Deceit and falsehood I abhor,
but love Thy law, Thy truth revealed;
my steadfast hope is in Thy word;
Thou art 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 froward Thou hast set at naught,
who vainly wander from the right;
the wicked Thou dost count as dross;
Thy just decrees are my delight;
for fear of Thee I stand in awe
and rev'rence Thy most holy law. Topics: Instruction Scripture: Psalm 119:113-120 Used With Tune: VATER UNSER Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
