119 Tu réduis à néant comme de l'écume tous les méchants de la terre; c'est pourquoi j'aime tes témoignages.

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 Soutiens-moi, et je serai sauvé, et j'aurai toujours les yeux sur tes statuts!

118 Tu rejettes tous ceux qui s'écartent de tes statuts, car leur tromperie est un vain mensonge.

119 Tu réduis à néant comme de l'écume tous les méchants de la terre; c'est pourquoi j'aime tes témoignages.

120 Ma chair frissonne de la frayeur que j'ai de toi; et je crains tes jugements.

121 J'ai pratiqué le droit et la justice; ne m'abandonne pas à mes oppresseurs.
