Exhortations to Seek Wisdom and Walk with the Lord ⁷ 

3:1 My child, ⁸  do not forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep ⁹  my commandments,

[6:12]  ¹ tn Heb “out of the house of slavery” (so NASB, NRSV).

[32:18]  ² tc The Hebrew text is corrupt here; the translation follows the suggestion offered in HALOT 1477 s.v. שׁיה. Cf. NASB, NLT “You neglected”; NIV “You deserted”; NRSV “You were unmindful of.”

[119:16]  ³ tn The imperfects in this verse emphasize the attitude the psalmist maintains toward God’s law. Another option is to translate with the future tense, “I will find delight…I will not forget.”

[119:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural here.

[119:61]  ⁵ tn Heb “surround.”

[119:176]  ⁶ tn Heb “I stray like a lost sheep.” It is possible that the point of the metaphor is vulnerability: The psalmist, who is threatened by his enemies, feels as vulnerable as a straying, lost sheep. This would not suggest, however, that he has wandered from God’s path (see the second half of the verse, as well as v. 110).

[3:1]  ⁷ sn The chapter begins with an introductory exhortation (1-4), followed by an admonition to be faithful to the Lord (5-12). Wisdom is commended as the most valuable possession (13-18), essential to creation (19-20), and the way to a long and safe life (21-26). There then follows a warning to avoid unneighborliness (27-30) and emulating the wicked (31-35).

[3:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “my son” (likewise in vv. 11, 21).

[3:1]  ⁹ tn The verb יִצֹּר (yitsor) is a Qal jussive and the noun לִבֶּךָ (libbekha, “your heart”) functions as the subject: “let your heart keep my commandments.”
