Psalms 21:6

Context

21:6 For you grant him lasting blessings;

you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence. 1 

Psalms 61:5

Context

61:5 For you, O God, hear my vows;

you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers. 2 

1 tn Heb “you make him happy with joy with [i.e., “close by” or “in”] your face.” On the idiom “with your face” (i.e., “in your presence”) see Ps 16:11 and BDB 816 s.v. פָּנֻה II.2.a.

2 tn Heb “you grant the inheritance of those who fear your name.” “Inheritance” is normally used of land which is granted as an inheritance; here it refers metaphorically to the blessings granted God’s loyal followers. To “fear” God’s name means to have a healthy respect for his revealed reputation which in turn motivates one to obey God’s commands (see Ps 86:11).
