Psalms 145:5-6

145:5 I will focus on your honor and majestic splendor,

and your amazing deeds! ¹ 

145:6 They will proclaim ²  the power of your awesome acts!

I will declare your great deeds!

[145:5]  ¹ tn Heb “the splendor of the glory of your majesty, and the matters of your amazing deeds I will ponder.”

[145:6]  ² tn The prefixed verbal form is understood as an imperfect, indicating how the psalmist expects his audience to respond to his praise. Another option is to take the forms as a jussive, indicating the psalmist’s wish, “may they proclaim.”
