Psalm 119:119

119 Tú desechas como escoria a los impíos de la tierra;por eso amo tus estatutos.

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 Defiéndeme, y estaré a salvo;siempre optaré por tus decretos.

118 Tú rechazas a los que se desvían de tus decretos,porque solo maquinan falsedades.

119 Tú desechas como escoria a los impíos de la tierra;por eso amo tus estatutos.

120 Mi cuerpo se estremece por el temor que me inspiras;siento reverencia por tus leyes.

121 Yo practico la justicia y el derecho;no me dejes en manos de mis opresores.
