45:5 Your arrows are sharp
and penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies.
Nations fall at your feet. 1
62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people!
Pour out your hearts before him! 2
God is our shelter! (Selah)
1 tn Heb “your arrows are sharp – peoples beneath you fall – in the heart of the enemies of the king.” The choppy style reflects the poet’s excitement.
2 tn To “pour out one’s heart” means to offer up to God intense, emotional lamentation and petitionary prayers (see Lam 2:19).
