Footnotes

  1. 1 Heb “bless.”
  2. 2 Heb “continually [will] his praise [be] in my mouth.”
  3. 3 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.
  4. 4 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).
  5. 5 Or “exalt.”
