Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes; or, no base thing (Revised Version); "no villainous thing" (Cheyne, Kay); comp. Deuteronomy 15:9. I will set before me nothing of this kind, "as an object either of imitation or of attainment." I hate the work of them that turn aside; literally, the doing of acts that swerve; i.e. "that depart from the right way." It shall not cleave to me. If such a thing "seized on him unawares, he would shake it off as a thing accursed" (Kay); comp. Deuteronomy 13:17.

(See Note on Psalm 41:8.)I hate the work of them that turn aside.--Or, I hate the doing of false things, according as we take the word in the concrete or abstract.It shall not cleave to me.--Such conduct shall not be mine.
