Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Psalms 119:53  (King James Version)
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
 


horror
{Zilphah} properly signifies the pestilential burning wind called by the Arabs {Simoom,} (see Psalms 11:6 .)It is here used in a figurative sense for the most horrid mental distress; and strongly marks the idea the Psalmist had of the corrupting, pestilential, and destructive nature of sin.
