Psalms 119:87

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

but I do not reject your precepts.

Psalms 119:95

[119:21]  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]  ¹ tn Heb “scoff at me to excess.”

[119:95]  ¹ tn Heb “the wicked wait for me to kill me.”
