Psalms 143:11

143:11 O Lord, for the sake of your reputation, revive me!

Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!


tn Heb “name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.

tn The imperfect verbal forms in vv. 11-12a are understood as expressing the psalmist’s desire. Note the petitionary tone of vv. 7-10a.

tn Heb “by your justice bring out my life from trouble.”
