Psalms 119:17

ג (Gimel)

17 Be kind to your servant!
Then I will live ^{▼▼ The prefixed verbal form is probably a cohortative indicating purpose/result after the preceding imperative.} and keep ^{▼▼ The cohortative with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the imperative that begins the verse.} your instructions. ^{▼▼ Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as several ancient versions read the plural here.}
