Psalms 34:2

34:2 I will boast in the Lord;

let the oppressed hear and rejoice!

Psalms 115:6

115:6 ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell,


tn Heb “my soul will boast”; or better, “let my soul boast.” Following the cohortative form in v. 1, it is likely that the prefixed verbal form here is jussive.

tn The two prefixed verbal forms in this verse are best taken as jussives, for the psalmist is calling his audience to worship (see v. 3).
