Psalms 85:13

85:13 Deliverance goes ¹  before him,

and prepares ²  a pathway for him. ³ 

[85:13]  ¹ tn Or “will go.”

[85:13]  ² tn Or “will prepare.”

[85:13]  ³ tn Heb “and it prepares for a way his footsteps.” Some suggest emending וְיָשֵׂם (vÿyasem, “and prepares”) to וְשָׁלוֹם (vÿshalom, “and peace”) since “deliverance” and “peace” are closely related earlier in v. 13. This could be translated, “and peace [goes ahead, making] a pathway for his footsteps” (cf. NEB).
