may Jacob rejoice, 3
may Israel be happy! 4
106:47 Deliver us, O Lord, our God!
Gather us from among the nations!
Then we will give thanks 5 to your holy name,
and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. 6
59:20 “A protector 7 comes to Zion,
to those in Jacob who repent of their rebellious deeds,” 8 says the Lord.
1 sn The deliverance of Israel. This refers metonymically to God, the one who lives in Zion and provides deliverance for Israel.
2 tn Heb “turns with a turning [toward] his people.” The Hebrew term שְׁבוּת (shÿvut) is apparently a cognate accusative of שׁוּב (shuv).
3 tn The verb form is jussive.
4 tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well.
5 tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.
6 tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”
7 tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
8 tn Heb “and to those who turn from rebellion in Jacob.”
