Psalms 119:16

119:16 I find delight in your statutes;

I do not forget your instructions.

Psalms 119:47

119:47 I will find delight in your commands,

which I love.

Psalms 119:77

119:77 May I experience your compassion, so I might live!

For I find delight in your law.


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.”

tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural here.

tn Heb “and may your compassion come to me.”
