Psalms 119:73-74

י (Yod)

119:73 Your hands made me and formed me. ¹ 

Give me understanding so that I might learn ²  your commands.

119:74 Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, ³ 

for I find hope in your word.

[119:73]  ¹ tn Heb “made me and established me.” The two verbs also appear together in Deut 32:6, where God, compared to a father, is said to have “made and established” Israel.

[119:73]  ² tn The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

[119:74]  ³ tn Heb “those who fear you will see me and rejoice.”
