A Holy Grief Over Sin
Commentators explain that the psalmist's response to those who disobey God is not anger or a desire for revenge, but a profound grief. Albert Barnes describes it as being 'sick at heart,' while Charles Ellicott notes the Hebrew word is even stronger, implying a sense of 'loathing' or 'disgust' at faithlessness. This is a holy sorrow over sin.
