Whatever things that are good,
whatever that builds up hope
think upon such things . . .
and they will help you to cope.
Whatever things that are true,
whatever that exposes God’s light
think upon such things . . .
and they will make your life bright.
Whatever things that are lovely,
whatever that God splendidly made
think upon such things . . .
and they will never pale or fade.
Whatever things that are just,
whatever that makes you honest
think upon such things . . .
and they will bless you as promised.
Whatever things that are noble,
whatever that will bring you peace
think upon such things . . .
and they will never fail or cease.
Whatever things that are of men,
whatever that causes you to sin
think not about such things . . .
and your thoughts they won’t win!

Philippians 4:8
King James Version
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true,
whatever things are noble, whatever things
are just, whatever things are pure, whatever
things are lovely, whatever things are of good
report, if there is any virtue and if there is
anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
