1 tn Heb “for this reason all the precepts of everything I regard as right.” The phrase “precepts of everything” is odd. It is preferable to take the kaf (כ) on כֹּל (kol, “everything) with the preceding form as a pronominal suffix, “your precepts,” and the lamed (ל) with the following verb as an emphatic particle. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 138.
2 tn Heb “every false path.”
3 tn Heb “you commanded [in] justice your rules.”
4 tn Heb “your justice [is] justice forever.”
5 tn Or “truth.”
6 tn Or “truth.”
