Mazmur 119:5

119:5 If only I were predisposed ² 

to keep your statutes!

[103:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb נָטַר (natar) is usually taken to mean “to keep; to guard,” with “anger” being understood by ellipsis. The idiom “to guard anger” is then understood to mean “to remain angry” (see Lev 19:18; Jer 3:5, 12; Nah 1:2). However, it is possible that this is a homonymic root meaning “to be angry” (see HALOT 695 s.v. נטר).

[119:5]  ² tn Heb “if only my ways were established.”
