Psalms 66:17

I cried out to him for help ¹  and praised him with my tongue. ² 

I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.

For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke.

I called out to him with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music.

My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue.

I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.

I cried out to him for help ¹  and praised him with my tongue. ² 

¹ tn Heb “to him [with] my mouth I called.”

² tn Heb “and he was extolled under my tongue.” The form רוֹמַם (romam) appears to be a polal (passive) participle from רוּם (rum, “be exalted”), but many prefer to read רוֹמָם, “high praise [was under my tongue]” (cf. NEB). See BDB 928 s.v. רוֹמָם.
