119:161Rulers pursue me for no reason,
yet I am more afraid of disobeying your instructions.200
119:162I rejoice in your instructions,
like one who finds much plunder.201
Footnotes
- 200 Heb “and because of your instructions my heart trembles.” The psalmist’s healthy “fear” of the consequences of violating God’s instructions motivates him to obey them. See v. 120.
- 201 Heb “like one who finds great plunder.” See Judg 5:30. The image is that of a victorious warrior who finds a large amount of plunder on the field of battle.
