Psalms 119:96

119:96 I realize that everything has its limits,

but your commands are beyond full comprehension. ¹ 

Psalms 119:98

119:98 Your commandments ²  make me wiser than my enemies,

for I am always aware of them.

¹ tn Heb “to every perfection I have seen an end, your command is very wide.” God’s law is beyond full comprehension, which is why the psalmist continually studies it (vv. 95, 97).

² tn The plural form needs to be revocalized as a singular in order to agree with the preceding singular verb and the singular pronoun in the next line. The Lord’s “command” refers here to the law (see Ps 19:8).
