What is the meaning of "Karvu Rodefei Zimah"?

1.

Rashi: It is the counsel of sinners.

2.

Radak: They are close to and cling to Zimah, and pursue it. Zimah is abomination and evil deed - "Ki Zimah Asu" (Hoshe'a 6:9), "Zimah Hi" (Vayikra 20:14).

2)

Why does it say "mi'Torasecha Rachaku"?

1.

Rashi: They distance from Your Torah to draw close to the counsel of their evil.

2.

Radak: It is the opposite of Zimah, which they approached.

3.

Malbim: There is nothing that unites sinners; they are separated in their lusts and deeds. Each chooses a different evil - "Nefesh Rasha Osah Ra Lo Yuchan b'Einav Re'ehu" (Mishlei 21:10). What unites them is that they distanced from Your Torah; they all deny it.
