68:13 When 1 you lie down among the sheepfolds, 2
the wings of the dove are covered with silver
and with glittering gold. 3
119:72 The law you have revealed is more important to me
than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. 4
1 tn Or “if.”
2 tn The meaning of the Hebrew word translated “sheepfolds” is uncertain. There may be an echo of Judg 5:16 here.
3 tn Heb “and her pinions with the yellow of gold.”
sn The point of the imagery of v. 13 is not certain, though the reference to silver and gold appears to be positive. Both would be part of the loot carried away from battle (see v. 12b).
4 tn Heb “better to me [is] the law of your mouth than thousands of gold and silver.”
