because of your just regulations.

[17:2]  ¹ tn Heb “From before you may my justice come out.” The prefixed verbal form יָצָא (yatsa’) could be taken as an imperfect, but following the imperatives in v. 1, it is better understood as a jussive of prayer.

[17:2]  ² tn Heb “May your eyes look at what is right.” The prefixed verbal form is understood as jussive. (See also the preceding note on the word “behalf.”)

[119:7]  ³ tn Heb “I will give you thanks with an upright heart.”

[119:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “of your mouth.”

[119:164]  ⁷ tn The number “seven” is use rhetorically to suggest thoroughness.
