Psalms 111:10
10To obey the Lord is the fundamental principle for wise living; ▼▼tn Heb “the beginning of wisdom [is] the fear of the Lord.”
all who carry out his precepts acquire good moral insight. ▼
▼tn Heb “good sense [is] to all who do them.” The third masculine plural pronominal suffix must refer back to the “precepts” mentioned in v. 7. In the translation the referent has been specified for clarity. The phrase שֵׂכֶל טוֹב (sekhel tov) also occurs in Prov 3:4; 13:15 and 2 Chr 30:22.
He will receive praise forever. ▼
▼tn Heb “his praise stands forever.”
