SCRIPTURE

"They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law. Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth." — Psalms 119:150-151 (ASV)

Near. —Notice the antithesis. They, the wicked, are near with their temptation to sin and their hindrances to virtue. You are near with the aid and support of Your law.
