Deceit And Falsehood I Abhor

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.

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.

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 reverence Thy most holy law.
