Psalms 89:19

89:19 Then you ⁷  spoke through a vision to your faithful followers ⁸  and said:

“I have energized a warrior; ⁹ 

I have raised up a young man ¹⁰  from the people.

[107:12]  ¹ tn Heb “and he subdued with suffering their heart.”

[30:10]  ² tn Heb “be a helper to me.”

[54:4]  ³ tn Or “my helper.”

[54:4]  ⁴ tn Or “sustain my life.”

[72:12]  ⁴ tn The singular is representative. The typical needy individual here represents the entire group.

[72:12]  ⁵ tn The singular is representative. The typical oppressed individual here represents the entire group.

[89:19]  ⁵ tn The pronoun “you” refers to the Lord, who is addressed here. The quotation that follows further develops the announcement of vv. 3-4.

[89:19]  ⁶ tc Many medieval mss read the singular here, “your faithful follower.” In this case the statement refers directly to Nathan’s oracle to David (see 2 Sam 7:17).

[89:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “I have placed help upon a warrior.”

[89:19]  ⁸ tn Or perhaps “a chosen one.”
