Samekh. 

¹¹³ I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love Your law.

Father, I hate those who are two-faced,

But I love your transparent law.

¹¹⁴ You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.

Father, You are my hiding place and my refuge of protection;

I listen for your guidance.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may observe the commandments of my God.

Scram Satan and all demons,

I plan to obey the commandments of my God in Christ Jesus.

¹¹⁶ Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Father, Keep me close according to your word, protect my life;

And don’t let me lose my hope in you.

¹¹⁷ Uphold me that I may be safe,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

Hold on to me so I will be safe in you,

So I will continue to respect and follow your rules.

¹¹⁸ You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes,
For their deceitfulness is useless.

You reject those who wander from your moral laws,

Their apostasy is terrible and useless.

¹¹⁹ You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross;
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Father, You remove all the wicked from the earth like garbage;

I so love your wisdom and Word.

¹²⁰ My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

Father, My skin tingles in reverence and fear of you,

And I am in awe of your judgments and plans.

Blessings, Dottie
