119:2 How blessed are those who observe his rules,

Psalms 119:146

so that I can keep ¹  your rules.”

Psalms 25:10

Psalms 78:5

78:5 He established a rule ⁴  in Jacob;

He commanded our ancestors

to make his deeds known to their descendants, ⁵ 

Psalms 132:12

132:12 If your sons keep my covenant

and the rules I teach them,

their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

[119:146]  ¹ tn The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

[25:10]  ² tn Heb “all the paths of the Lord are faithful and trustworthy.” The Lord’s “paths” refer here to his characteristic actions.

[25:10]  ³ tn Heb “to the ones who keep his covenant and his testimonies.”

[78:5]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to God’s command that the older generation teach their children about God’s mighty deeds in the nation’s history (see Exod 10:2; Deut 4:9; 6:20-25).

[78:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “which he commanded our fathers to make them known to their sons.” The plural suffix “them” probably refers back to the Lord’s mighty deeds (see vv. 3-4).
