(158) Transgressors.--Better, the faithless (or, traitors).

Was grieved.--The Hebrew is a far stronger word, and the sense is intensified by the rare conjugation: was filled with loathing at; sickened with disgust.

"The recreants I survey,

And loathing turn away."--KEBLE.

Verse 158. - I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; literally, the treacherous dealers - those who dealt treacherously against the Divine covenant. Because they kept not thy Word (comp. ver. 136).
