Psalms 119:126-128

Context

119:126 It is time for the Lord to act –

they break your law!

119:127 For this reason 1  I love your commands

more than gold, even purest gold.

119:128 For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. 2 

I hate all deceitful actions. 3

[119:127]  1 tn “For this reason” connects logically with the statement made in v. 126. Because the judgment the psalmist fears (see vv. 119-120) is imminent, he remains loyal to God’s law.

[119:128]  2 tn Heb “for this reason all the precepts of everything I regard as right.” The phrase “precepts of everything” is odd. It is preferable to take the kaf (כ) on כֹּל (kol, “everything) with the preceding form as a pronominal suffix, “your precepts,” and the lamed (ל) with the following verb as an emphatic particle. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 138.

[119:128]  3 tn Heb “every false path.”
