Psalms 119:116
114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God.
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.
118 You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
