14 The Hebrew term אִם (’im) is used here in the sense of “when; whenever,” as in Ps 78:34.
15 Or “[source of] help.”
16 Heb “in the shadow of your wings.”
17 Or “I.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see 660 נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).
18 Heb “clings after.” The expression means “to pursue with determination” (see Judg 20:45; 1 Sam 14:22; 1 Chr 10:2; Jer 42:16).

In other versions

when I remember you upon my bed,

and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

for you have been my help,

and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

My soul clings to you;

your right hand upholds me.

On my bed I remember you;

I think of you through the watches of the night.

Because you are my help,

I sing in the shadow of your wings.

your right hand upholds me.

meditating on you through the night.

Thy right hand upholdeth me.
