Psalms 132:10

132:10 For the sake of David, your servant,

do not reject your chosen king! ¹ 

Proverbs 30:7

30:7 Two things ²  I ask from you; ³ 

do not refuse me before I die:

[132:10]  ¹ tn Heb “do not turn away the face of your anointed one.”

[30:7]  ² sn Wisdom literature often groups things in twos and fours, or in other numerical arrangements (e.g., Amos 1:3–2:6; Job 5:19; Prov 6:16-19).

[30:7]  ³ tn Assuming that the contents of vv. 7-9 are a prayer, several English versions have supplied a vocative phrase: “O Lord” (NIV); “O God” (NLT); others have supplied a similar phrase without the vocative “O”: NCV, CEV “Lord”; TEV “God.”
