119:130 Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. 1
They give 2 insight to the untrained. 3
119:171 May praise flow freely from my lips,
for you teach me your statutes.
119:174 I long for your deliverance, O Lord;
I find delight in your law.
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.
