Psalms 119:16

119:16 I find delight ¹  in your statutes;

I do not forget your instructions. ² 

Psalms 119:47

119:47 I will find delight in your commands,

which I love.

Psalms 119:77

119:77 May I experience your compassion, ³  so I might live!

For I find delight in your law.

[119:16]  ¹ tn 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]  ² tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural here.

[119:77]  ³ tn Heb “and may your compassion come to me.”
