[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.”

[119:112]  ³ tn Heb “I turn my heart to do.”

[19:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “moreover your servant is warned by them.”

[19:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “in the keeping of them [there is] a great reward.”

[70:3]  ⁷ tn The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive in this imprecation.

[70:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “May they be turned back according to their shame, those who say, ‘Aha! Aha!’” Ps 40:15 has the verb “humiliated” instead of “turned back” and adds “to me” after “say.”

[40:15]  ⁹ tn The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive in this imprecation.

[40:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “May they be humiliated according to their shame, those who say to me, ‘Aha! Aha!’”
