89:30 If his sons reject my law
and disobey my regulations,
119:20 I desperately long to know 1
your regulations at all times.
119:52 I remember your ancient regulations, 2
O Lord, and console myself. 3
119:160 Your instructions are totally reliable;
all your just regulations endure. 4
1 tn Heb “my soul languishes for longing for.”
2 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. Another option is to understand the prepositional phrase as modifying the verb, in which case one might translate, “I have long remembered your regulations.”
3 tn Or “find comfort.”
4 tn Heb “the head of your word is truth, and forever [is] all your just regulation.” The term “head” is used here of the “sum total” of God’s instructions.
