Psalms 119:7

119:7 I will give you sincere thanks, ¹ 

when I learn your just regulations.

Psalms 119:43

119:43 Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony, ² 

for I await your justice.

Psalms 119:160

119:160 Your instructions are totally reliable;

all your just regulations endure. ³ 

[119:7]  ¹ tn Heb “I will give you thanks with an upright heart.”

[119:43]  ² tn Heb “do not snatch from my mouth a word of truth to excess.” The psalmist wants to be able to give a reliable testimony about the Lord’s loyal love (vv. 41-42), but if God does not intervene, the psalmist will be deprived of doing so, for the evidence of such love (i.e., deliverance) will be lacking.

[119:160]  ³ tn Heb “the head of your word is truth, and forever [is] all your just regulation.” The term “head” is used here of the “sum total” of God’s instructions.
