119:41 May I experience your loyal love, ¹  O Lord,

and your deliverance, ²  as you promised. ³ 

119:42 Then I will have a reply for the one who insults me, ⁴ 

for I trust in your word.

Mazmur 119:46

119:46 I will speak ⁵  about your regulations before kings

and not be ashamed.

[119:41]  ¹ tn Heb “and may your loyal love come to me.”

[119:41]  ² tn Or “salvation” (so many English versions).

[119:41]  ³ tn Heb “according to your word.”

[119:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will answer [the] one who insults me a word.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the jussive (see v. 41).

[119:46]  ⁵ tn The series of four cohortatives with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive in vv. 46-48 list further consequences of the anticipated positive divine response to the request made in v. 43.
