Psalm 119:113-120 Part 3

                    SAMEKH

I hate those with divided loyalties,

    but I love your instructions.

You are my refuge and my shield;

    your word is my source of hope.

Get out of my life, you evil-minded people,

    for I intend to obey the commands of my God.

LORD, sustain me as you promised, that I may live!

    Do not let my hope be crushed.

Sustain me, and I will be rescued;

    then I will meditate continually on your decrees.

But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees.

    They are only fooling themselves.

You skim off the wicked of the earth like scum;

    no wonder I love to obey your laws!

I tremble in fear of you;

    I stand in awe of your regulations. 

 

Get out of my life, you evil-minded people, for I intend to obey the commands of my God.

Psalm 6:8 

Go away, all you who do evil,

    for the LORD has heard my weeping.  (see all Psalm 6)

Psalm 139:19  

O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!

    Get out of my life, you murderers!  (see all Psalm 139) 

Matthew 7:22-23  

"On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' "  (see Matthew 7:21-29)

Matthew 25:41  

    "Then the King will turn to those on his left and say, 'Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.' "  (see Matthew 25:31-46)

2 Peter 2:4-5  

    For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment. And God did not spare the ancient world--except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God's righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.  (see all 2 Peter 2)
