Psalms 66:18-20

Context

66:18 If I had harbored sin in my heart, 1 

the Lord would not have listened.

66:19 However, God heard;

he listened to my prayer.

66:20 God deserves praise, 2 

for 3  he did not reject my prayer

or abandon his love for me! 4 

1 tn Heb “sin if I had seen in my heart.”

2 tn Heb “blessed [be] God.”

3 tn Or “who.” In a blessing formula after בָּרוּךְ (barukh, “blessed be”) the form אֲשֶׁר (’asher), whether taken as a relative pronoun or causal particle, introduces the basis for the blessing/praise.

4 tn Heb “did not turn aside my prayer and his loyal love with me.”
