NETBible

Look,¹ you desire² integrity in the inner man;³ you want me to possess wisdom.⁴

NET Notes

¹sn The juxtaposition of two occurrences of “look” in vv. 5-6 draws attention to the sharp contrast between the sinful reality of the psalmist’s condition and the lofty ideal God has for him.

²tn The perfect is used in a generalizing sense here.

³tn Heb “in the covered [places],” i.e., in the inner man.

⁴tn Heb “in the secret [place] wisdom you cause me to know.” The Hiphil verbal form is causative, while the imperfect is used in a modal sense to indicate God’s desire (note the parallel verb “desire”).

⁴sn You want me to possess wisdom. Here “wisdom” does not mean “intelligence” or “learning,” but refers to moral insight and skill.
