Exegesis
The Qal perfect lo-asur {לֹא־אָס֥וּר | lōʾ-ʾāsûr} ‘I did not turn aside’ expresses a completed action with ongoing relevance, and the pronominal suffix in mimennah {מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ | min-men-nāh} ‘from them’ refers back to the statutes, completing the contrast. The translation preserves the Hebrew parallelism within a clear English clause structure.
