116:2 and listened to me. ² 

As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help. ³ 

Mazmur 119:127

119:127 For this reason ⁴  I love your commands

more than gold, even purest gold.

[109:31]  ¹ tn Heb “judge.”

[116:2]  ² tn Heb “because he turned his ear to me.”

[116:2]  ³ tn Heb “and in my days I will cry out.”

[119:127]  ⁴ tn “For this reason” connects logically with the statement made in v. 126. Because the judgment the psalmist fears (see vv. 119-120) is imminent, he remains loyal to God’s law.
