119:43Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony,67

for I await your justice.

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 67 Heb “do not snatch from my mouth a word of truth to excess.” The psalmist wants to be able to give a reliable testimony about the Lord’s loyal love (vv. 41–42), but if God does not intervene, the psalmist will be deprived of doing so, for the evidence of such love (i.e., deliverance) will be lacking.
