Psalms 57:7

57:7 I am determined, ¹  O God! I am determined!

I will sing and praise you!

Psalms 90:17

90:17 May our sovereign God extend his favor to us! ² 

Make our endeavors successful!

Yes, make them successful! ³ 

¹ tn Or perhaps “confident”; Heb “my heart is steadfast.” The “heart” is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s volition and/or emotions.

² tn Heb “and may the delight of the Master, our God, be on us.” The Hebrew term נֹעַם (no’am, “delight”) is used in Ps 27:4 of the Lord’s “beauty,” but here it seems to refer to his favor (see BDB 653 s.v.) or kindness (HALOT 706 s.v.).

³ tn Heb “and the work of our hands establish over us, and the work of our hands, establish it.”
