Psalms 119:117
115 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.
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.
119 All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
