Psalms 31:7

31:7 I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness,

because you notice my pain

and you are aware of how distressed I am.

Psalms 139:3

139:3 You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest;

you are aware of everything I do.


tn Heb “you know the distresses of my life.”

tn Heb “my traveling and my lying down you measure.” The verb זָרָה (zarah, “to measure”) is probably here a denominative from זָרָת (zarat, “a span; a measure”), though some derive it from זָרָה (zarat, “to winnow; to sift”; see BDB 279-80 s.v. זָרָה).

tn Heb “all my ways.”
