כ (Kaf)

119:81 I desperately long for ¹  your deliverance.

I find hope in your word.

Mazmur 119:174

119:174 I long for your deliverance, O Lord;

I find delight in your law.

Mazmur 119:123

119:123 My eyes grow tired as I wait for your deliverance, ² 

for your reliable promise to be fulfilled. ³ 

[119:81]  ¹ tn Heb “my soul pines for.” See Ps 84:2.

[119:123]  ² tn Heb “my eyes fail for your deliverance.” The psalmist has intently kept his eyes open, looking for God to intervene, but now his eyes are watery and bloodshot, impairing his vision. See the similar phrase in v. 82.

[119:123]  ³ tn Heb “and for the word of your faithfulness.”
