I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.
Ver. 163. I hate and abhor lying] Utitur atroci verbo, abominatus sum, I hate it as I hate hell itself; and yet lying was David's sin after a special manner. See Psalms 119:29. See Trapp on " Psa 119:29 "
But thy law do I love] All hatred comes from love of the contrary. "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil," Psalms 97:10 .
