Footnotes
- Psalm 119:54 tn Heb “songs were your statutes to me.”
- Psalm 119:54 tn Heb “in the house of my dwelling place.” Some take the Hebrew noun מָגוֹר (magor) in the sense of “temporary abode,” and see this as a reference to the psalmist’s status as a resident foreigner (see v. 19). But the noun can refer to a dwelling place in general (see Ps 55:15).
- Psalm 119:55 tn The cohortative verbal form expresses the psalmist’s resolve to obey the law.
