Psalms 119:115
113 The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word.
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God.
116 Sustain me as You promised, that I may live; let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Uphold me, and I will be saved, that I may always regard Your statutes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
