Psalms119:53

Horror. hpelz, zilaphah, properly signifies the pestilential burning wind called by the Arabs simoon (see Psalms 11:6); and is here used in a figurative sense for the most horrid mental distress; and strongly marks the idea the Psalmist had of the corrupting, pestilential, and destructive nature of sin. Note in Bagster's Comprehensive Bible.
