Lewd men, like dross, away thou putt'st; therefore thy law I love.
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies.
You put away and count as dross all the wicked of the earth [for there is no true metal in them]; therefore I love Your testimonies.
You dispose of all the wicked people on earth like waste— that’s why I love your laws.
I of thy testimonies have above all things made choice, To be my heritage for aye; for they my heart rejoice.
And will delight myself always in thy laws, which I lov'd.
