1. The double-minded I abhor, but your commands I love, O Lord
The double-minded I abhor, but your commands I love, O Lord. You are my refuge and my shield; I set my hope upon your word.
[Sing to the Lord 119: ]

2. that God’s commands I may obey. By your word keep me; I shall live.
2. You evildoers, leave me now,
that God’s commands I may obey.
By your word keep me; I shall live.
Let not my hope be swept away.

3. for your decrees I have respect.
3. Uphold me, and I shall be saved;
for your decrees I have respect.
All those who stray from your commands
and practise falsehood you reject.

4. therefore I love your holy law. My body quakes for fear of you;
4. The wicked you discard like dross;
therefore I love your holy law.
My body quakes for fear of you;
of your commands I stand in awe.
