Psalm 119:117-119
New Catholic Bible

117 Uphold me, and I will be saved
    and will remain completely focused on your decrees.
118 You cast away all those who swerve from your decrees;
    their cunning is futile.
119 You discard all the wicked of the earth like dross;[a]
    therefore, I love your teachings.
