[119:33]  1 tn Heb “the way of your statutes.”

[119:33]  2 tn Heb “and I will keep it to the end.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative. The Hebrew term עֵקֶב (’eqev) is understood to mean “end” here. Another option is to take עֵקֶב (’eqev) as meaning “reward” here (see Ps 19:11) and to translate, “so that I might observe it and be rewarded.”

[119:34]  3 tn The two prefixed verbal forms with vav (ו) conjunctive indicate purpose/result after the introductory imperative.
