115 Away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commands of my God!
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
115 Get out of my life, evildoers, so I can keep my God's commands.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, For I will keep the commandments of my God!
115 Get out of my life, you evil-minded people, for I intend to obey the commands of my God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 119:115
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.
