[15:28]  1 tn The verb יֶהְגֶּה (yehgeh) means “to muse; to meditate; to consider; to study.” It also involves planning, such as with the wicked “planning” a vain thing (Ps 2:1, which is contrasted with the righteous who “meditate” in the law [1:2]).

[15:28]  2 tn The word “how” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[15:28]  3 tc The LXX reads: “the hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness.”

[15:28]  4 sn The form is plural. What they say (the “mouth” is a metonymy of cause) is any range of harmful things.
