Psalms 119:150

Context

119:150 Those who are eager to do 6  wrong draw near;

they are far from your law.

1 tn Heb “you see, O Lord.” There is a deliberate play on words. In v. 21 the enemies say, “our eye sees,” but the psalmist is confident that the Lord “sees” as well, so he appeals to him for help (see also v. 17).

2 tn Heb “hurry to my help.”

3 tn Or “for.”

4 sn The following line defines the phrase far from you in a spiritual sense. Those “far” from God are those who are unfaithful and disloyal to him.

5 tn Heb “everyone who commits adultery from you.”

6 tn Heb “those who pursue.”
