Psalms 119:115 - Exposition

Depart from me, ye evildoers . There is no fellowship between light and darkness , between righteousness and unrighteousness ( 2 Corinthians 10:16 ). Good men must separate themselves from those who are manifestly workers of iniquity (comp. Psalms 6:8 ). For I will keep the commandments of my God (see Psalms 119:106 ). Association with the wicked hinders men from keeping God's Law. Not only is there the danger of corruption ( 1 Corinthians 15:3 ;); but, at the best, attention is distracted, and energies weakened.
