Psalms 66:17

66:17 I cried out to him for help ¹ 

and praised him with my tongue. ² 

Psalms 138:3

138:3 When ³  I cried out for help, you answered me.

You made me bold and energized me. ⁴ 

[66:17]  ¹ tn Heb “to him [with] my mouth I called.”

[66:17]  ² tn Heb “and he was extolled under my tongue.” The form רוֹמַם (romam) appears to be a polal (passive) participle from רוּם (rum, “be exalted”), but many prefer to read רוֹמָם, “high praise [was under my tongue]” (cf. NEB). See BDB 928 s.v. רוֹמָם.

[138:3]  ³ tn Heb “in the day.”

[138:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “you made me bold in my soul [with] strength.”
