Commentary on Psalms 139:19

Theological / Devotional

Depart from me. A sudden transition. The psalmist turns his attention to the presence of evil in the world. To him sin was closely bound up with the sinner, so that his prayer for wickedness to cease was framed in words denunciatory of the sinner.
