Psalms 119:24

Context

119:24 Yes, I find delight in your rules;

they give me guidance.³

[119:16] ¹tn The imperfects in this verse emphasize the attitude the psalmist maintains toward God’s law. Another option is to translate with the future tense, “I will find delight…I will not forget.”

[119:16] ²tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural here.

[119:24] ³tn Heb “men of my counsel.” That is, God’s rules are like advisers to the psalmist, for they teach him how to live in a godly manner that refutes the accusations of his enemies.
