Psalms 119:21

Compare all

19 ^aI am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.

20 ^aMy soul¹ breaks with longing
For Your judgments at all times.

21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed,
Who stray from Your commandments.

22 ^aRemove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies.

23 Princes also sit and speak against me,
But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

24 Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.

ד Daleth

25 ^aMy soul clings to the dust;
^bRevive me according to Your word.

26 I have declared my ways, and You answered me;
^aTeach me Your statutes.

27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts;
So ^ashall I meditate on Your wonderful works.

Psalms 119:21

Thou hast rebuked the proud - This was done often in the case of David; and was true also in reference to the Babylonians, who held the Israelites in subjection, and whose kings were among the proudest of human beings. Instead of zedim , the proud, some MSS. read zarim , strangers, and one reads goyim , the heathen; and so the Syriac.
