β€œThey draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 119

Meaning

Qoph (vv.145–152) contrasts physical proximity of threat with moral distance from God's law.

Qoph

Wholehearted cries, early hope, night meditation, and confidence in God's nearness answer approaching evil.

Read carefully

The verse describes a specific hostile context and should not be generalized without evidence.

Reflection

Take credible threats seriously and use appropriate safety measures.
