Psalms 119:43

119:43 Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony, ¹ 

for I await your justice.

[119:43]  ¹ 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.
