Footnotes

  1. Psalm 119:98 tn The plural form needs to be revocalized as a singular in order to agree with the preceding singular verb and the singular pronoun in the next line. The Lord’s “command” refers here to the law (see Ps 19:8).

98 Your commands are always with me
    and make me wiser(A) than my enemies.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
    for I meditate on your statutes.(B)
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
    for I obey your precepts.(C)
