59:16 As for me, I will sing about your strength;
I will praise your loyal love in the morning.
For you are my refuge 1
and my place of shelter when I face trouble. 2
102:2 Do not ignore me in my time of trouble! 3
Listen to me! 4
When I call out to you, quickly answer me!
1 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).
2 tn Heb “and my shelter in the day of my distress.”
3 tn Heb “do not hide your face from me in the day of my trouble.” The idiom “to hide the face” can mean “to ignore” (see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9) or carry the stronger idea of “to reject” (see Pss 29:7; 30:7; 88:14).
4 tn Heb “turn toward me your ear.”
