Psalms 50:23

50:23 Whoever presents a thank-offering honors me. ¹ 

To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.” ² 

Psalms 91:16

91:16 I will satisfy him with long life, ³ 

and will let him see my salvation.

Jeremiah 42:12

42:12 I will have compassion on you so that he in turn will have mercy on you and allow you to return to your land.’

¹ sn The reference to a thank-offering recalls the earlier statement made in v. 14. Gratitude characterizes genuine worship.

² tn Heb “and [to one who] sets a way I will show the deliverance of God.” Elsewhere the phrase “set a way” simply means “to travel” (see Gen 30:36; cf. NRSV). The present translation assumes an emendation of וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ (vÿsam derekh) to וְשֹׁמֵר דְּרָכַּי (vÿshomer dÿrakhay, “and [the one who] keeps my ways” [i.e., commands, see Pss 18:21; 37:34). Another option is to read וְשֹׁמֵר דַּרְכּוֹ (vÿshomer darko, “and [the one who] guards his way,” i.e., “the one who is careful to follow a godly lifestyle”; see Ps 39:1).

³ tn Heb “length of days.”
