Psalms 16:7

16:7 I will praise 1  the Lord who 2  guides 3  me;

yes, during the night I reflect and learn. 4 

Psalms 48:9

48:9 We reflect on your loyal love, O God,

within your temple.

Psalms 77:12

77:12 I will think about all you have done;

I will reflect upon your deeds!”

1 tn Heb “bless,” that is, “proclaim as worthy of praise.”

2 tn Or “because.”

3 tn Or “counsels, advises.”

4 tn Heb “yes, [during] nights my kidneys instruct [or “correct”] me.” The “kidneys” are viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s moral character (see Ps 26:2). In the quiet darkness the Lord speaks to his inner being, as it were, and enables him to grow in moral understanding.
