118:50 αὕτη με παρεκάλεσεν ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου ὅτι τὸ λόγιόν σου ἔζησέν με
118:56 αὕτη ἐγενήθη μοι ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐξεζήτησα
What's the antecent of the demonstrative pronoun in these two verses? Or is it feminine because of some underlying word in the Hebrew?
Thanks!

Yes, it's the feminine near demonstrative pronoun זֹאת in Hebrew.
LEB wrote:50 This is my comfort in my misery:
that your word preserves my life.
56 This has been mine,
that I have kept your precepts.
The "antecedent" comes later; it's the subordinating conjunction
ὅτι / כי. The Hebrew doesn't have the Greek's gender mismatch between feminine
αὕτη and neuter
ὅτι.
