119:54 Your statutes have been my songs 1
in the house where I live. 2
119:111 I claim your rules as my permanent possession,
for they give me joy. 3
1 tn Heb “songs were your statutes to me.”
2 tn Heb “in the house of my dwelling place.” Some take the Hebrew noun מָגוֹר (magor) in the sense of “temporary abode,” and see this as a reference to the psalmist’s status as a resident alien (see v. 19). But the noun can refer to a dwelling place in general (see Ps 55:15).
3 tn Heb “for the joy of my heart [are] they.”
