Psalms 119:103

119:103 Your words are sweeter

in my mouth than honey! ¹ 

Psalms 137:6

137:6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,

if I do not remember you,

and do not give Jerusalem priority

over whatever gives me the most joy. ² 

[119:103]  ¹ tn Heb “How smooth they are to my palate, your word, more than honey to my mouth.” A few medieval Hebrew mss, as well as several other ancient witnesses, read the plural “your words,” which can then be understood as the subject of the plural verb “they are smooth.”

[137:6]  ² tn Heb “if I do not lift up Jerusalem over the top of my joy.”
