63:11 But the king 1 will rejoice in God;
everyone who takes oaths in his name 2 will boast,
for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up. 3
1 sn The psalmist probably refers to himself in the third person here.
2 tn Heb “who swears [an oath] by him.”
3 tn The Niphal of this verb occurs only here and in Gen 8:2, where it is used of God “stopping” or “damming up” the great deep as he brought the flood to an end.
