Psalm 119:112-114

New English Translation

¹¹²I am determined to obey^[a] your statutes
at all times, to the very end.

¹¹³I hate people with divided loyalties,^[b]
but I love your law.
¹¹⁴You are my hiding place and my shield.
I find hope in your word.

Psalm 119:112 tn Heb “I turn my heart to do.”
Psalm 119:113 tn Heb “divided ones.” The word occurs only here; it appears to be derived from a verbal root, attested in Arabic, meaning “to split” (see HALOT 762 s.v. *סֵעֵף). Since the psalmist is emphasizing his unswerving allegiance to God and his law, the term probably refers to those who lack such loyalty. The translation is similar to that suggested by L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 131.
