Psalms 119:158
I beheld the transgressors - Those who wronged me; those who violated the law of God.
And was grieved - Or, "sickened." The word used here means commonly to loathe, to nauseate, to sicken. Ezekiel 16:47; Psalms 95:10. I was made sad, sorry, sick at heart. I did not look on them with anger; I did not desire to take revenge upon them; I did not return evil for evil. My heart was sad that people would do wrong; that they would expose themselves to such danger. See the notes at Psalms 119:136.
Because they kept not thy word - Because they violated thy law; because they were sinners.
