Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.

Psalm 119:37 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

From beholding vanity - An idol, worldly pleasure, beauty, finery; any thing that is vain, empty, or transitory. Let me not behold it; let me not dwell upon it. Let me remember Achan: he saw, - he coveted, - he took, - he hid his theft, and was slain for his sin.
