The Word of Truth
From the Psalms

Week Eighteen

Samekh (113-120)

v.113. I hate those who are double-minded, but I love Your law. v.114. You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word. v.115. Depart from me, evildoers, that I may observe the commandments of my God. v.116. Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. v.117. Uphold me that I may be safe, that I may have regard for Your statutes continually. v.118. You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is useless. v.119. You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies. v.120. My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments.
(NAS version)

There is a contrast in this stanza.
One is love of God’s Word and the other is double-minded evildoers who wander from God's Word.

Look at the phrases –
I wait...
I may observe...
That I may live...
That I may be safe...
That I may have regard...
I love Your testimonies...
I am afraid...

What do you learn?
How can you apply this to your life?
