Mazmur 119:105

נ (Nun)

119:105 Your word ¹  is a lamp to walk by,

and a light to illumine my path. ² 

Mazmur 38:6

38:6 I am dazed ³  and completely humiliated; ⁴ 

all day long I walk around mourning.

[119:105]  ¹ tn Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural (“words”).

[119:105]  ² tn Heb “[is] a lamp for my foot and a light for my path.”

[38:6]  ³ tn The verb’s precise shade of meaning in this context is not entirely clear. The verb, which literally means “to bend,” may refer to the psalmist’s posture. In Isa 21:3 it seems to mean “be confused, dazed.”

[38:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “I am bowed down to excess.”
