80:15 the root 1 your right hand planted,
the shoot you made to grow! 2
92:13 Planted in the Lord’s house,
they grow in the courts of our God.
128:2 You 3 will eat what you worked so hard to grow. 4
You will be blessed and secure. 5
1 tn The Hebrew noun occurs only here in the OT. HALOT 483 s.v. III כֵּן emends the form to כַּנָּהּ (kannah, “its shoot”).
2 tn Heb “and upon a son you strengthened for yourself.” In this context, where the extended metaphor of the vine dominates, בֵּן (ben, “son”) probably refers to the shoots that grow from the vine. Cf. Gen 49:22.
3 tn The psalmist addresses the representative God-fearing man, as indicated by the references to “your wife” (v. 3) and “the man” (v. 4), as well as the second masculine singular pronominal and verbal forms in vv. 2-6.
4 tn Heb “the work of your hands, indeed you will eat.”
5 tn Heb “how blessed you [will be] and it will be good for you.”
