Footnotes

  1. Psalm 119:175 tn Heb “my life.”
  2. Psalm 119:175 tn God’s regulations will “help” the psalmist by giving him moral and ethical guidance.
  3. Psalm 119:176 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).
