Psalms 119:113
The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love.
BSB
ASV
I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.
KJV
I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
ס, SAMECH.--The Fifteenth Part. SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts,.... Or thoughts: evil thoughts are undoubtedly meant, no other can be the object of hatred to a good man; they are such as are contrary to the law of God, and forbidden by it, mentioned in the next clause as the object of love, in opposition to these; and which are abominable to God, and defiling to men; should be forsaken, need pardon; and, if not pardoned, will be brought into judgment, and there exposed, and men punished for them.
