Hymn 92 I Hate the Thoughts of Vanity

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Last Verse 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.
