70:4May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you!
May those who love to experience7 your deliverance say continually,8
Footnotes
- 7 Heb “those who love,” which stands metonymically for its cause, the experience of being delivered by God.
- 8 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 on the godly.
- 9 Ps 40:16 uses the divine name “Lord” here instead of “God.”
- 10 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.” See Ps 35:27.
