Psalms 34:2

Context

34:2 I will boast 1  in the Lord;

let the oppressed hear and rejoice! 2 

Psalms 34:11

Context

34:11 Come children! Listen to me!

I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord. 3 

1 tn Heb “my soul will boast”; or better, “let my soul boast.” Following the cohortative form in v. 1, it is likely that the prefixed verbal form here is jussive.

2 tn The two prefixed verbal forms in this verse are best taken as jussives, for the psalmist is calling his audience to worship (see v. 3).

3 tn Heb “the fear of the Lord I will teach you.” In vv. 13-14 the psalmist explains to his audience what it means to “fear” the Lord.
