[89:19]  1 tn The pronoun “you” refers to the Lord, who is addressed here. The quotation that follows further develops the announcement of vv. 3-4.

[89:19]  2 tc Many medieval mss read the singular here, “your faithful follower.” In this case the statement refers directly to Nathan’s oracle to David (see 2 Sam 7:17).

[89:19]  3 tn Heb “I have placed help upon a warrior.”

[89:19]  4 tn Or perhaps “a chosen one.”

[89:20]  5 tn The words “as king” are supplied in the translation for clarification, indicating that a royal anointing is in view.
