Psalms 89:15-16

89:15 How blessed are the people who worship you! ¹ 

O Lord, they experience your favor. ² 

89:16 They rejoice in your name all day long,

and are vindicated ³  by your justice.

[89:15]  ¹ tn Heb “who know the shout.” “Shout” here refers to the shouts of the Lord’s worshipers (see Pss 27:6; 33:3; 47:5).

[89:15]  ² tn Heb “in the light of your face they walk.” The idiom “light of your face” probably refers to a smile (see Eccl 8:1), which in turn suggests favor and blessing (see Num 6:25; Pss 4:6; 31:16; 44:3; 67:1; 80:3, 7, 19; Dan 9:17).

[89:16]  ³ tn Heb “are lifted up.”
