Discovery BoxPsalms 119:11 
Context119:11 In my heart I store up 1 your words, 2
so I might not sin against you.
Psalms 119:127-129
Context119:127 For this reason 3 I love your commands
more than gold, even purest gold.
119:128 For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. 4
I hate all deceitful actions. 5
פ (Pe)
119:129 Your rules are marvelous.
Therefore I observe them.
1 tn Or “hide.”
2 tn Heb “your word.” Some medieval Hebrew
3 tn “For this reason” connects logically with the statement made in v. 126. Because the judgment the psalmist fears (see vv. 119-120) is imminent, he remains loyal to God’s law.
4 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.
5 tn Heb “every false path.”
