Psalms 149:5

Context

149:5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! 1 

Let them shout for joy upon their beds! 2 

Psalms 35:27

Context

35:27 May those who desire my vindication shout for joy and rejoice!

May they continually say, 3  “May the Lord be praised, 4  for he wants his servant to be secure.” 5 

1 tn Heb “in glory.” Here “glory” probably refers to the “honor” that belongs to the Lord’s people as a result of their deliverance (see v. 4).

2 tn The significance of the reference to “beds” is unclear. Perhaps the point is that they should rejoice at all times, even when falling asleep or awaking.

3 tn The prefixed verbal forms in v. 27a are understood as jussives (see vv. 24b-26).

4 tn The prefixed verbal form is taken as a jussive, “may the Lord be magnified [in praise].” Another option is to take the verb as an imperfect, “the Lord is great.”

5 tn Heb “the one who desires the peace of his servant.”
