Psalms 63:11

63:11 But the king ¹  will rejoice in God;

everyone who takes oaths in his name ²  will boast,

for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up. ³ 

[63:11]  ¹ sn The psalmist probably refers to himself in the third person here.

[63:11]  ² tn Heb “who swears [an oath] by him.”

[63:11]  ³ tn The Niphal of this verb occurs only here and in Gen 8:2, where it is used of God “stopping” or “damming up” the great deep as he brought the flood to an end.
