Psalms 119:118
118You despise ▼▼tn The Hebrew verb
סָלָה (
salah, “to disdain”) occurs only here and in
Lam 1:15. Cognate usage in Aramaic and Akkadian, as well as
Lam 1:15, suggest it may have a concrete nuance of “to throw away.”
all who stray from your statutes,
for such people are deceptive and unreliable. ▼▼tn Heb “for their deceit [is] falsehood.”
