51:15 O Lord, give me the words! 1
Then my mouth will praise you. 2
79:13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,
will continually thank you. 3
We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts. 4
106:2 Who can adequately recount the Lord’s mighty acts,
or relate all his praiseworthy deeds? 5
1 tn Heb “open my lips.” The imperfect verbal form is used here to express the psalmist’s wish or request.
2 tn Heb “and my mouth will declare your praise.”
3 tn Or (hyperbolically) “will thank you forever.”
4 tn Heb “to a generation and a generation we will report your praise.” Here “praise” stands by metonymy for the mighty acts that prompt worship. Cf. Ps 9:14.
5 tn Heb “[or] cause to be heard all his praise.”
