45:16 Your 1 sons will carry 2 on the dynasty of your ancestors; 3
you will make them princes throughout the land.

May his mother’s sin not be forgotten! 5
1 tn The pronoun is second masculine singular, indicating the king is being addressed from this point to the end of the psalm.
2 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.”

4 tn Or “fathers’ sins.”
5 tn Heb “not be wiped out.”
