Footnotes

  1. 163 “For this reason” connects logically with the statement made in v. 126. Because the judgment the psalmist fears (see vv. 119–120) is imminent, he remains loyal to God’s law.
  2. 164 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 (ך) 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 (), .
  3. 165 Heb “every false path.”
