Psalms 119:38

Context

119:38 Confirm to your servant your promise, 1 

which you made to the one who honors you. 2 

Psalms 50:23

Context

50:23 Whoever presents a thank-offering honors me. 3 

To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.” 4 

1 tn Heb “word.”

2 tn Heb “which [is] for your fear,” that is, the promise made to those who exhibit fear of God.

3 sn The reference to a thank-offering recalls the earlier statement made in v. 14. Gratitude characterizes genuine worship.

4 tn Heb “and [to one who] sets a way I will show the deliverance of God.” Elsewhere the phrase “set a way” simply means “to travel” (see Gen 30:36; cf. NRSV). The present translation assumes an emendation of וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ (vÿsam derekh) to וְשֹׁמֵר דְּרָכַּי (vÿshomer dÿrakhay, “and [the one who] keeps my ways” [i.e., commands, see Pss 18:21; 37:34). Another option is to read וְשֹׁמֵר דַּרְכּוֹ (vÿshomer darko, “and [the one who] guards his way,” i.e., “the one who is careful to follow a godly lifestyle”; see Ps 39:1).
