Psalms 9:10

9:10 Your loyal followers trust in you, 1 

for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help. 2 

1 tn Heb “and the ones who know your name trust in you.” The construction vav (ו) conjunctive + imperfect at the beginning of the verse expresses another consequence of the statement made in v. 8. “To know” the Lord’s “name” means to be his follower, recognizing his authority and maintaining loyalty to him. See Ps 91:14, where “knowing” the Lord’s “name” is associated with loving him.

2 tn Heb “the ones who seek you.”
