“For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.”
The affirmation that those far from God perish and those unfaithful to God are destroyed articulates the ultimate fate of those who reject covenant relationship. The reference to unfaithfulness articulates that the wicked's condition results from deliberate choice to depart from God. This verse closes the psalm with the reaffirmation of the fundamental principle: alienation from God results in destruction.
