ס Samek

113 I hate the1 double-minded,
But I love Your law. 
114 aYou are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word. 
115 aDepart from me, you evildoers,
For I will keep the commandments of my God! 
116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me abe ashamed of my hope. 
117 1Hold me up, and I shall be safe,
And I shall observe Your statutes continually. 
118 You reject all those who stray from Your statutes,
For their deceit is falsehood.
119 You1 put away all the wicked of the earth alike dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Psalms 119:115

Depart from me, ye evil-doers - Workers of iniquity; bad men. See the notes at Psalms 6:8. This indicates a determined purpose that nothing should deter or allure him from the service of God. A man who wishes to serve God, and lead a religious life, must separate himself from the society, as such, of unprincipled people.

For I will keep the commandments of my God - This is my fixed resolution. It may be remarked here

(1) that bad people will turn away from the society of one who has formed such a resolution, and who carries it out;

(2) the resolution is a necessary one to be formed and executed, if a man will serve God;

(3) the formation and execution of such a purpose, is the best way to get rid of the society of bad people.
