Psalms 119:101

119:101 I stay away from the evil path,

so that I might keep your instructions.

Psalms 119:104

119:104 Your precepts give me discernment.

Therefore I hate all deceitful actions.

Psalms 119:128

119:128 For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts.

I hate all deceitful actions.


tn Heb “I hold back my feet.”

tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural.

tn Heb “every false path.”

tn Heb “for this reason all the precepts of everything I regard as right.” The phrase “precepts of everything” is odd. It is preferable to take the kaf (כ) on כֹּל (kol, “everything) with the preceding form as a pronominal suffix, “your precepts,” and the lamed (ל) with the following verb as an emphatic particle. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 138.
