ו (Vav)
119:41 May I experience your loyal love, 1 O Lord,
and your deliverance, 2 as you promised. 3
119:42 Then I will have a reply for the one who insults me, 4
for I trust in your word.
119:46 I will speak 5 about your regulations before kings
and not be ashamed.
1 tn Heb “and may your loyal love come to me.”
2 tn Or “salvation” (so many English versions).
3 tn Heb “according to your word.”
4 tn Heb “and I will answer [the] one who insults me a word.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the jussive (see v. 41).
7 tn The series of four cohortatives with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive in vv. 46-48 list further consequences of the anticipated positive divine response to the request made in v. 43.
