Fifteenth PART. SAMECH

Vain fluctuating Thoughts I hate; But fix my Love upon thy Law. Thou art my hiding Place, and Shield; My Hopes, from thy pure Word, I draw. Depart from me ye wicked Men; To keep my God's Commands I aim. As thou hast said, support my Life; Let not my Hope be turn'd to Shame. Uphold me, then I shall be safe; I'll to thy Laws still turn mine Eyes. Transgressors thou hast trodden down; For they deceiv'd themselves with Lies. Thou dost ill Men, like Dross, reject; To love thy Laws, I'm therefore led. For Fear of Thee my Flesh doth quake; And I thy awful Judgments dread.
