Footnotes
- 1 The prefixed verbal forms here and in vv. 1b–5 are interpreted as jussives of prayer (cf. , , ). Another option is to understand them as imperfects, “the Lord will answer,” etc. In this case the people declare their confidence that the Lord will intervene on behalf of the king and extend to him his favor.
- 2 May the Lord answer you. The people address the king as they pray to the Lord.
- 3 Heb “in a day of trouble.”
- 4 Heb “the name of the God of Jacob.” God’s “name” refers metonymically to his very person and to the divine characteristics suggested by his name, in this case “God of Jacob,” which highlights his relationship to Israel.
