119:21 You reprimand arrogant people.
Those who stray from your commands are doomed. 1
119:122 Guarantee the welfare of your servant! 2
Do not let the arrogant oppress me!
119:51 Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. 3
Yet I do not turn aside from your law.
119:78 May the arrogant be humiliated, for they have slandered me! 4
But I meditate on your precepts.
119:85 The arrogant dig pits to trap me, 5
which violates your law. 6

2 tn Heb “be surety for your servant for good.”
3 tn Heb “scoff at me to excess.”
4 tn Heb “for [with] falsehood they have denied me justice.”
5 tn Heb “for me.”
6 tn Heb “which [is] not according to your law.”
