Psalms 119:10

119:10 With all my heart I seek you.

Do not allow me to stray from your commands!

Psalms 119:21

119:21 You reprimand arrogant people.

Those who stray from your commands are doomed. ¹ 

Psalms 119:51

119:51 Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. ² 

Yet I do not turn aside from your law.

Psalms 119:87

119:87 They have almost destroyed me here on the earth,

but I do not reject your precepts.

Psalms 119:95

119:95 The wicked prepare to kill me, ³ 

yet I concentrate on your rules.

[119:21]  ¹ tn Heb “accursed.” The traditional punctuation of the Hebrew text takes “accursed” with the previous line (“arrogant, accursed ones”), but it is preferable to take it with the second line as the predicate of the statement.

[119:51]  ² tn Heb “scoff at me to excess.”

[119:95]  ³ tn Heb “the wicked wait for me to kill me.”
