Psalms 119:7

119:7 I will give you sincere thanks, 1 

when I learn your just regulations.

Psalms 119:43

119:43 Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony, 2 

for I await your justice.

Psalms 119:160

119:160 Your instructions are totally reliable;

all your just regulations endure. 3 

1 tn Heb “I will give you thanks with an upright heart.”

2 tn Heb “do not snatch from my mouth a word of truth to excess.” The psalmist wants to be able to give a reliable testimony about the Lord’s loyal love (vv. 41-42), but if God does not intervene, the psalmist will be deprived of doing so, for the evidence of such love (i.e., deliverance) will be lacking.

3 tn Heb “the head of your word is truth, and forever [is] all your just regulation.” The term “head” is used here of the “sum total” of God’s instructions.
