Psalms 69:5

69:5 O God, you are aware of my foolish sins; ¹ 

my guilt is not hidden from you. ² 

Psalms 69:28

69:28 May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living! ³ 

Do not let their names be listed with the godly! ⁴ 

[69:5]  ¹ tn Heb “you know my foolishness.”

[69:5]  ² sn The psalmist is the first to admit that he is not perfect. But even so, he is innocent of the allegations which his enemies bring against him (v. 5b). God, who is aware of his foolish sins and guilt, can testify to the truth of his claim.

[69:28]  ³ tn Heb “let them be wiped out of the scroll of the living.”

[69:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “and with the godly let them not be written.”
