37:4 Then you will take delight in the Lord, 1
and he will answer your prayers. 2
20:5 Then we will shout for joy over your 3 victory;
we will rejoice 4 in the name of our God!
May the Lord grant all your requests!
1 tn Following the imperatives of v. 3 the prefixed verbal forms with vav (ו) in v. 4 indicate result. Faith and obedience (v. 3) will bring divine blessing (v. 4).
2 tn Or “and he will give you what you desire most.” Heb “and he will grant to you the requests of your heart.”
3 sn Your victory. Here the king is addressed (see v. 1).
4 tc The Hebrew verb דָּגַל (dagal) occurs only here in the Qal. If accepted as original, it may carry the nuance “raise a banner,” but it is preferable to emend the form to נגיל (“we will rejoice”) which provides better parallelism with “shout for joy” and fits well with the prepositional phrase “in the name of our God” (see Ps 89:16).
