Psalm 119:43-45
New Catholic Bible
43 Do not remove from my mouth the word of truth,[a]
for I place my hope in your judgment.
44 I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.
45 I will walk in complete freedom
because I have sought your commands.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 119:43 Do not remove from my mouth the word of truth: for it will enable the psalmist to respond to the insults and calumnies to which he is subjected (see vv. 61, 85, 95, etc.).
- Psalm 119:45 Sought your commands: the psalmist strives to understand the meaning of the Scriptures and make them his rule of life (see vv. 94, 155; see also Ps 111:2; Ezr 7:10; Sir 51:23; Isa 34:16). Such a study is at the origin of the Midrashic literature.
