Psalms 119:45

I will be secure, ¹  for I seek your precepts.

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.

And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts.

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.

And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom;

So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.

I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought your precepts.

And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts.

I will be secure, ¹  for I seek your precepts.

¹ tn Heb “and I will walk about in a wide place.” The cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive gives a further consequence of the anticipated positive divine response (see vv. 43-44). Another option is to take the cohortative as expressing the psalmist’s request. In this case one could translate, “and please give me security.”
