1 Chronicles 16:35

16:35 Say this prayer: “Deliver us, O God who delivers us!

Gather us! Rescue us from the nations!

Then we will give thanks to your holy name,

and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.”

1 Chronicles 18:11

18:11 King David dedicated these things to the Lord, along with the silver and gold which he had carried off from all the nations, including Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.


tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.

tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”

tn Heb “also them King David made holy to the Lord.”

tn Heb “from.”

tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:12 of the MT reads “Aram.” However, a few Hebrew mss along with the LXX and Syriac of 2 Sam 8:12 read “Edom” in agreement with 1 Chr 18:11 (cf. 2 Sam 8:14).
