119 Desechas a los perversos de la tierra como si fueran desperdicios;
¡con razón me encanta obedecer tus leyes!

Psalm 119:119 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:119

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross,
&c.] Which is of no worth and value, useless and unprofitable; which is cast into the fire, and separated from the choice metal. This expresses the character and state of wicked men; who are of no account with God, are of no profit and advantage to him; nor to men, but harmful and pernicious; are cast into the fire of God's judgments here, and into everlasting burnings hereafter; and will be separated from the righteous, and have no part and lot with them: these seem to be hypocrites also, who have made a show of being gold and silver, when they were nothing but dross; and being reprobate silver, were rejected of God as such;

therefore I love thy testimonies;
which discover such persons when brought to be tried by them; and which require purity of heart and life, and caution against evil ways and evil men, and are a means of preserving from them.

Psalm 119:119 In-Context

117 Sostenme y seré rescatado;
entonces meditaré continuamente en tus decretos.

118 Pero has rechazado a todos los que se apartan de tus decretos,
quienes no hacen más que engañarse a sí mismos.

119 Desechas a los perversos de la tierra como si fueran desperdicios;
¡con razón me encanta obedecer tus leyes!

120 Me estremezco por mi temor a ti;
quedo en temor reverente ante tus ordenanzas.

121 Ayin
No me dejes a merced de mis enemigos,
porque he hecho lo que es correcto y justo.
