Psalms 86:13

86:13 For you will extend your great loyal love to me, 1 

and will deliver my life 2  from the depths of Sheol. 3 

Psalms 90:17

90:17 May our sovereign God extend his favor to us! 4 

Make our endeavors successful!

Yes, make them successful! 5 

1 tn Heb “for your loyal love [is] great over me.”

2 tn Or “for he will have delivered my life.” The verb form indicates a future perfect here.

3 tn Or “lower Sheol.”

4 tn Heb “and may the delight of the Master, our God, be on us.” The Hebrew term נֹעַם (no’am, “delight”) is used in Ps 27:4 of the Lord’s “beauty,” but here it seems to refer to his favor (see BDB 653 s.v.) or kindness (HALOT 706 s.v.).

5 tn Heb “and the work of our hands establish over us, and the work of our hands, establish it.”
