Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 119. - Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross. The wicked are ultimately separated from the righteous, and cast away "as dross," since they can serve no good end (comp. Matthew 13:30, 49, 50). Therefore I love thy testimonies. Not because the wicked suffer, but because they are prevented from injuring the righteous.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(119) Thou puttest away.--For this common Scriptural figure comp. Jeremiah 6:28-30; Ezekiel 22:18-20. This is indeed a process which is continually going on, and it is one test of the true religious character that it can discern it at work under the seeming contradictions of the world. Where apparently vice succeeds and prospers it is really marked out for expulsion,"To those whoAll treasures and all gain esteem as dross;And dignities and powers, all but the Highest."MILTON.
