113  I hate the thoughts of vanity,
        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
        ashamèd 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  Lewd men, like dross, away thou putt'st;
        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.
