Mazmur 119:24

119:24 Yes, I find delight in your rules;

they give me guidance. ¹ 

Mazmur 119:52

119:52 I remember your ancient regulations, ² 

O Lord, and console myself. ³ 

[119:24]  ¹ tn Heb “men of my counsel.” That is, God’s rules are like advisers to the psalmist, for they teach him how to live in a godly manner that refutes the accusations of his enemies.

[119:52]  ² tn Heb “I remember your regulations from of old.” The prepositional phrase “from of old” apparently modifies “your regulations,” alluding to the fact that God revealed them to Israel in the distant past. Another option is to understand the prepositional phrase as modifying the verb, in which case one might translate, “I have long remembered your regulations.”

[119:52]  ³ tn Or “find comfort.”
