Psalms 119:139 
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. 


119:139. In the last two verses David spoke concerning his God and his law; here he speaks of himself. His zeal was like a fire burning within his soul. The sight of man’s forgetfulness of God acted as a fierce blast to excite the fire to a more vehement flame, and it blazed until it was ready to consume him. David could not bear that people should forget God’s words. The ungodly were David’s enemies because they hated him for his godliness and because he abhorred them for their ungodliness. These people had gone so far in iniquity that they not only violated and neglected the commands of God, but they appeared actually to have forgotten them. David burned with indignation. How dare they trample on sacred things!
