Psalms 119:120

Context

119:120 My body 1  trembles 2  because I fear you; 3 

I am afraid of your judgments.

Psalms 119:161

Context

שׂ/שׁ (Sin/Shin)

119:161 Rulers pursue me for no reason,

yet I am more afraid of disobeying your instructions. 4 

1 tn Heb “my flesh.”

2 tn The Hebrew verb סָמַר (samar, “to tremble”) occurs only here and in Job 4:15.

3 tn Heb “from fear of you.” The pronominal suffix on the noun is an objective genitive.

4 tn Heb “and because of your instructions my heart trembles.” The psalmist’s healthy “fear” of the consequences of violating God’s instructions motivates him to obey them. See v. 120.
