Mazmur 119:10

119:10 With all my heart I seek you.

Do not allow me to stray from your commands!

Mazmur 119:110

119:110 The wicked lay a trap for me,

but I do not wander from your precepts.

Mazmur 119:118

119:118 You despise ¹  all who stray from your statutes,

for they are deceptive and unreliable. ² 

[119:118]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb סָלָה (salah, “to disdain”) occurs only here and in Lam 1:15. Cognate usage in Aramaic and Akkadian, as well as Lam 1:15, suggest it may have a concrete nuance of “to throw away.”

[119:118]  ² tn Heb “for their deceit [is] falsehood.”
