Psalms 119:130

Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. ¹  They give ²  insight to the untrained. ³ 

Ps 19:7; Ps 119:105; Pr 1:4,22,23; Pr 6:23; Pr 9:4-6; Isa 8:20; Lu 1:77-79; Ac 26:18; Ro 16:18,19; 2Co 4:4,6; Eph 5:13,14; 2Ti 3:15-17; 2Pe 1:19

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.
