Psalms 126:6

126:6 The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag ¹  of seed,

will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain. ² 

Psalms 71:18

71:18 Even when I am old and gray, ³ 

O God, do not abandon me,

until I tell the next generation about your strength,

and those coming after me about your power. ⁴ 

[126:6]  ¹ tn The noun occurs only here and in Job 28:18 in the OT. See HALOT 646 s.v. I מֶשֶׁךְ which gives “leather pouch” as the meaning.

[126:6]  ² tn The Hebrew noun אֲלֻמָּה (’alummah, “sheaf”) occurs only here and in Gen 37:7 in the OT.

[71:18]  ³ tn Heb “and even unto old age and gray hair.”

[71:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “until I declare your arm to a generation, to everyone who comes your power.” God’s “arm” here is an anthropomorphism that symbolizes his great strength.
