1 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.”
2 tn Or “find comfort.”
3 tn Heb “my flesh.”
4 tn The Hebrew verb סָמַר (samar, “to tremble”) occurs only here and in Job 4:15.
5 tn Heb “from fear of you.” The pronominal suffix on the noun is an objective genitive.
6 tn Heb “my life.”
7 tn God’s regulations will “help” the psalmist by giving him moral and ethical guidance.
