Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment (Ps. 119:149)

Moffatt translates, "Oh listen— thou art kind; revive me—thou art just." Thy word is true from the beginning (Ps. 119:160)

The Hebrew noun r'osh (meaning literally "head"), which is here translated "beginning," is used in a wide variety of senses, including "sum"; moreover, the word "from" is not here represented in the original text. Roth the Revised Standard Version and Smith agree in translating: "The sum of thy word is truth."
