קֶ֣דֶם יָ֭דַעְתִּי מֵעֵדֹתֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם יְסַדְתָּֽם׃
Dès longtemps j’avais connaissance de tes statuts, car tu les as établis pour l’éternité.
Ibn Ezra
ערבני Undertake for me. Comp.23The Hebrew text has עתה now; but its meaning can hardly be found out; besides, the word טגזרת, the usual introduction of a parallel passage, is missing; and the conjecture that עת׳ is a corruption of מגזרת is well founded. ערוב be surety (Ps. 119:112); according to some הרבני ═ ערבני destroy me; this is nonsense. The word ערבני, lit. pledge thyself for me, is an anthropomorphism; it means, sympathise with me in my troubles.
