113 I hate those who are double-minded , But I love Your law .
114 You are my hiding place and my shield ; I wait for Your word .
115 Depart from me, evildoers , That I may observe the commandments of my God .
116 Sustain me according to Your word , that I may live ; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope . 117 Uphold me that I may be safe , That I may have regard for Your statutes continually .
118 You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes , For their deceitfulness is useless . 119 You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross ; Therefore I love Your testimonies . 120 My flesh trembles for fear of You, And I am afraid of Your judgments . Ayin.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 119:113-120
Commentary on Psalm 119:113-120
(Read Psalm 119:113-120)
Here is a dread of the risings of sin, and the first beginnings of it. The more we love the law of God, the more watchful we shall be, lest vain thoughts draw us from what we love. Would we make progress in keeping God's commands, we must be separate from evil-doers. The believer could not live without the grace of God; but, supported by his hand, his spiritual life shall be maintained. Our holy security is grounded on Divine supports. All departure from God's statutes is error, and will prove fatal. Their cunning is falsehood. There is a day coming which will put the wicked into everlasting fire, the fit place for the dross. See what comes of sin Surely we who fall so low in devout affections, should fear, lest a promise being left us of entering into heavenly rest, any of us should be found to come short of it, Hebrews 4:1.
