Psalms 119:118
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.
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.
120 My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
