P119p. I hate the men of double mind

SAMECH THE FIFTEENTH PART

113 I hate the men of double mind,
but love thy law do I.
114 My shield and hiding-place thou art:
I on thy word rely.
115 All ye that evil-doers are
from me depart away;
for the commandments of my God
I purpose to obey.

116 According to thy faithful word
uphold and stablish me,
that I may live, and of my hope
ashamed never be.
117 Hold thou me up so shall I be
in peace and safety still;
and to thy statutes have respect
continually I will.

118 Thou tread'st down all that love to stray,
false their deceit doth prove.
119 Vile men, like dross, thou putt'st away;
therefore thy law I love.
120 For fear of thee my very flesh
doth tremble, all dismayed,
and of thy righteous judgments, Lord,
my soul is much afraid.
