Mazmur 119:7

119:7 I will give you sincere thanks, ¹ 

when I learn your just regulations.

Mazmur 119:62

119:62 In the middle of the night I arise ²  to thank you

for your just regulations.

Mazmur 119:128

119:128 For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. ³ 

I hate all deceitful actions. ⁴ 

Mazmur 119:160

119:160 Your instructions are totally reliable;

all your just regulations endure. ⁵ 

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

[119:62]  ² tn The psalmist uses an imperfect verbal form to emphasize that this is his continuing practice.

[119:128]  ³ tn Heb “for this reason all the precepts of everything I regard as right.” The phrase “precepts of everything” is odd. It is preferable to take the kaf (כ) on כֹּל (kol, “everything) with the preceding form as a pronominal suffix, “your precepts,” and the lamed (ל) with the following verb as an emphatic particle. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 138.

[119:128]  ⁴ tn Heb “every false path.”

[119:160]  ⁵ 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.
