Psalms 18:19

Context

18:19 He brought me out into a wide open place;

he delivered me because he was pleased with me. 1 

Psalms 41:11

Context

41:11 By this 2  I know that you are pleased with me,

for my enemy does 3  not triumph 4  over me.

1 tn Or “delighted in me.”

2 sn By this. Having recalled his former lament and petition, the psalmist returns to the confident mood of vv. 1-3. The basis for his confidence may be a divine oracle of deliverance, assuring him that God would intervene and vindicate him. The demonstrative pronoun “this” may refer to such an oracle, which is assumed here, though its contents are not included. See P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 (WBC), 319, 321.

3 tn Or “will.” One may translate the imperfect verbal form as descriptive (present, cf. NIV) or as anticipatory (future, cf. NEB).

4 tn Heb “shout.”
