Psalms 68:9

Context

68:9 O God, you cause abundant showers to fall 1  on your chosen people. 2 

When they 3  are tired, you sustain them, 4 

1 tn The verb נוּף (nuf, “cause rain to fall”) is a homonym of the more common נוּף (“brandish”).

2 tn Heb “[on] your inheritance.” This refers to Israel as God’s specially chosen people (see Pss 28:9; 33:12; 74:2; 78:62, 71; 79:1; 94:5, 14; 106:40). Some take “your inheritance” with what follows, but the vav (ו) prefixed to the following word (note וְנִלְאָה, vÿnilah) makes this syntactically unlikely.

3 tn Heb “it [is],” referring to God’s “inheritance.”

4 tn Heb “it,” referring to God’s “inheritance.”
