Footnotes

  1. 144 The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.
  2. 145 The psalmist has already declared that he observes God’s commands despite persecution, so here the idea must be “so that I might observe the commands of my God unhindered by threats.”
