Psalms 119:16

119:16 I find delight in your statutes;

I do not forget your instructions.

Psalms 119:92

119:92 If I had not found encouragement in your law,

I would have died in my sorrow.


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 “if your law had not been my delight.”

tn Or “my suffering.”
