Context

69:13 O Lord, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me! 1 

O God, because of your great loyal love,

answer me with your faithful deliverance! 2 

Psalms 40:16

Context

40:16 May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you!

May those who love to experience 3  your deliverance say continually, 4 

“May the Lord be praised!” 5 

1 tn Heb “as for me, [may] my prayer be to you, O Lord, [in] a time of favor.”

2 tn Heb “O God, in the abundance of your loyal love, answer me in the faithfulness of your deliverance.”

3 tn Heb “those who love,” which stands metonymically for its cause, the experience of being delivered by the Lord.

4 tn The three prefixed verbal forms prior to the quotation are understood as jussives. The psalmist balances out his imprecation against his enemies with a prayer of blessing upon the godly.

5 tn The prefixed verbal form is taken as a jussive, “may the Lord be magnified [in praise].” Another option is to take the verb as an imperfect, “the Lord is great” (cf. NRSV). See Ps 35:27.
