Psalms 45:16

45:16 Your sons will carry on the dynasty of your ancestors;

you will make them princes throughout the land.

Isaiah 32:8

32:8 An honorable man makes honorable plans;

his honorable character gives him security.


tn The pronoun is second masculine singular, indicating the king is being addressed from this point to the end of the psalm.

tn The prefixed verbal form could be taken as jussive and the statement interpreted as a prayer, “May your sons carry on the dynasty of your ancestors!” The next line could then be taken as a relative clause, “[your sons] whom you will make princes throughout the land.”

tn Heb “in place of your fathers will be your sons.”

tn Heb “and he upon honorable things stands.”
