Psalms 119:15-16

119:15 I will meditate on your precepts

and focus on your behavior.

119:16 I find delight in your statutes;

I do not forget your instructions.


tn The cohortative verbal forms in this verse express the psalmist’s resolve.

tn Heb “gaze [at].”

tn Heb “ways” (referring figuratively to God’s behavior here).

tn The imperfects in this verse emphasize the attitude the psalmist maintains toward God’s law. Another option is to translate with the future tense, “I will find delight…I will not forget.”

tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural here.
