Psalms 119:119

Context

119:119 You remove all the wicked of the earth like slag. 1 

Therefore I love your rules. 2 

1 sn Traditionally “dross” (so KJV, ASV, NIV). The metaphor comes from metallurgy; “slag” is the substance left over after the metallic ore has been refined.

2 sn As he explains in the next verse, the psalmist’s fear of judgment motivates him to obey God’s rules.
