[105:10]  ¹ tn Or “eternal covenant.”

[119:13]  ² tn Heb “of your mouth.”

[119:20]  ³ tn Heb “my soul languishes for longing for.”

[119:30]  ⁴ tn BDB 1000-1001 s.v. I שָׁוָה derives the verb from the first homonym listed, meaning “to agree with; to be like; to resemble.” It here means (in the Piel stem) “to be accounted suitable,” which in turn would mean by metonymy “to accept; to be committed to.” Some prefer to derive the verb from a homonym meaning “to place; to set,” but in this case an elliptical prepositional phrase must be understood, “I place your regulations [before me]” (see Ps 16:8).

[119:39]  ⁵ tn Heb “my reproach that I fear.”

[119:39]  ⁶ tn Or “for.”

[119:52]  ⁶ tn Heb “I remember your regulations from of old.” The prepositional phrase “from of old” apparently modifies “your regulations,” alluding to the fact that God revealed them to Israel in the distant past. Another option is to understand the prepositional phrase as modifying the verb, in which case one might translate, “I have long remembered your regulations.”

[119:52]  ⁷ tn Or “find comfort.”

[119:62]  ⁷ tn The psalmist uses an imperfect verbal form to emphasize that this is his continuing practice.

[119:108]  ⁸ tn Heb “of my mouth.”

[119:164]  ⁹ tn The number “seven” is use rhetorically to suggest thoroughness.

[119:175]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “my life.”

[119:175]  ¹¹ tn God’s regulations will “help” the psalmist by giving him moral and ethical guidance.
