119:16 I find delight 1 in your statutes;
I do not forget your instructions. 2
119:24 Yes, I find delight in your rules;
they give me guidance. 3
119:47 I will find delight in your commands,
which I love.
119:92 If I had not found encouragement in your law, 4
I would have died in my sorrow. 5
1 tn The imperfects in this verse emphasize the attitude the psalmist maintains toward God’s law. Another option is to translate with the future tense, “I will find delight…I will not forget.”
2 tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew
3 tn Heb “men of my counsel.” That is, God’s rules are like advisers to the psalmist, for they teach him how to live in a godly manner that refutes the accusations of his enemies.
4 tn Heb “if your law had not been my delight.”
5 tn Or “my suffering.”
