119:52 I remember your ancient regulations, 1
O Lord, and console myself. 2
77:11 I will remember the works of the Lord.
Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! 3
1 tn Heb “I remember your regulations from of old.” The prepositional phrase “from of old” apparently modifies “your regulations,” alluding to the fact that God revealed them to Israel in the distant past.

2 tn Or “find comfort.”
3 tn Heb “yes, I will remember from old your wonders.”
sn The psalmist refuses to allow skepticism to win out. God has revealed himself to his people in tangible, incontrovertible ways in the past and the psalmist vows to remember the historical record as a source of hope for the future.
