Psalms 26:12

26:12 I am safe, ¹ 

and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.

Psalms 132:15

132:15 I will abundantly supply what she needs; ² 

I will give her poor all the food they need. ³ 

Psalms 16:7

16:7 I will praise ⁴  the Lord who ⁵  guides ⁶  me;

yes, during the night I reflect and learn. ⁷ 

[26:12]  ¹ tn Heb “my foot stands in a level place.”

[132:15]  ² tn Heb “I will greatly bless her provision.” The infinitive absolute is used to emphasize the verb.

[132:15]  ³ tn Heb “her poor I will satisfy [with] food.”

[16:7]  ³ tn Heb “bless,” that is, “proclaim as worthy of praise.”

[16:7]  ⁴ tn Or “because.”

[16:7]  ⁵ tn Or “counsels, advises.”

[16:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “yes, [during] nights my kidneys instruct [or “correct”] me.” The “kidneys” are viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s moral character (see Ps 26:2). In the quiet darkness the Lord speaks to his inner being, as it were, and enables him to grow in moral understanding.
