Psalms 69:12

69:12 Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me;

drunkards mock me in their songs.

Psalms 119:54

119:54 Your statutes have been my songs

in the house where I live.


tn Heb “the mocking songs of the drinkers of beer.”

tn Heb “songs were your statutes to me.”

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).
