ה (He)
119:33 Teach me, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes, 1
so that I might observe it continually. 2
119:44 Then I will keep 3 your law continually
now and for all time. 4
1 tn Heb “the way of your statutes.”
2 tn Heb “and I will keep it to the end.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative. The Hebrew term עֵקֶב (’eqev) is understood to mean “end” here. Another option is to take עֵקֶב (’eqev) as meaning “reward” here (see Ps 19:11) and to translate, “so that I might observe it and be rewarded.”
3 tn The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the negated jussive (see v. 43).
4 tn Or “forever and ever.”
