Psalms 139:19
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
139:19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God. Thou hast seen all their transgressions, which indeed have been done in thy presence. If the eye of God is grieved with the presence of evil, it is but natural to expect that he will remove the offending object. God who sees all evil will slay all evil. Such is his love of holiness, and hatred of wrong, that he will carry on war to the death with those whose hearts and lives are wicked. God will not always let his creation be defiled by the presence of wickedness.
Depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. Men who delight in cruelty and war are not fit companions for those who walk with God. David chases them from his court, for he is weary of those of whom God is weary. We tremble in the society of the ungodly lest their doom should fall upon them suddenly, and we should see them dead at our feet. We do not wish to have our place of fellowship turned into a gallows of execution.
