Mazmur 119:98

119:98 Your commandments ¹  make me wiser than my enemies,

for I am always aware of them.

Mazmur 119:101

119:101 I stay away ²  from the evil path,

so that I might keep your instructions. ³ 

[119:98]  ¹ 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).

[119:101]  ² tn Heb “I hold back my feet.”

[119:101]  ³ tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural.
