  1. Psalm 119:113 The ways of the righteous and the wicked are completely divergent. The psalmist dissociates himself from the wicked; he hates the double-minded but loves the law of the Lord. He draws near to God, his refuge and his shield. For, unlike the wicked whom the Lord will discard, the godly have hope in and veneration for the Lord.
  2. Psalm 119:113 Hypocritical: those who hesitate between fidelity and infidelity to God (see 1 Ki 18:21); they are “inconsistent in everything [they do]” (Jas 1:8).
