Psalms 119:53
horror Zilaphah properly signifies the pestilential burning wind called by the Arabs Simoom (see Ps 11:6). It 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.
