Psalms 119:53

Compare all

51 The proud have me in great derision,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

52 I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord,
And have comforted myself.

53 ^aIndignation has taken hold of me
Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.

54 Your statutes have been my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

55 ^aI remember Your name in the night, O Lord,
And I keep Your law.

Psalms 119:53

Horror hath taken hold upon me - The word zilaphah , which we render horror, is thought to signify the pestilential burning wind called by the Arabs simoom. Here it strongly marks the idea that the psalmist had of the destructive nature of sin; it is pestilential; it is corrupting, mortal.
