Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth (like) dross - (Ezekiel 22:18-19.) This shall be fully realized at the Lord's second coming, by the flaming fire which shall separate the dross (the wicked) from the pure metal (the godly) (Isaiah 1:25; Malachi 3:2-3).
Therefore I love thy testimonies - because these are what through faith shall be the seed of life in the godly, saving him from the coming judgments which shall cause the wicked to cease (Hebrew, hishbataa (H7673)) as dross (1 Peter 1:23). The same word which is the seed of life in believers shall be the condemnation of unbelievers in the last day.
