Psalms 119:130-131

Context

119:130 Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. 1 

They give 2  insight to the untrained. 3 

119:131 I open my mouth and pant,

because I long 4  for your commands.

1 tn Heb “the doorway of your words gives light.” God’s “words” refer here to the instructions in his law (see vv. 9, 57).

2 tn Heb “it [i.e., the doorway] gives.”

3 tn Or “the [morally] naive,” that is, the one who is young and still in the process of learning right from wrong and distinguishing wisdom from folly. See Pss 19:7; 116:6.

4 tn The verb occurs only here in the OT.
