Psalms 119:173-175

119:173 May your hand help me,

for I choose to obey ¹  your precepts.

119:174 I long for your deliverance, O Lord;

I find delight in your law.

119:175 May I ²  live and praise you!

May your regulations help me! ³ 

[119:173]  ¹ tn The words “to obey” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarity.

[119:175]  ² tn Heb “my life.”

[119:175]  ³ tn God’s regulations will “help” the psalmist by giving him moral and ethical guidance.
