38 Fulfill your word to your servant,
    so that you may be feared.[a]
39 Let me escape the disgrace that I dread,
    for your judgments are good.
40 See, I long for your commandments;
    in your righteousness preserve my life.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 119:38 That you may be feared: as a result of the saving acts that the Lord does in accord with his promises, he is acknowledged as the one true God and feared (see Ps 130:5; 2 Sam 7:25f; 1 Ki 8:39f; Jer 33:8f). Another possible translation is: “Fulfill the word you have spoken / to the servant who fears you.”
