Mazmur 106:5

106:5 so I may see the prosperity ⁴  of your chosen ones,

rejoice along with your nation, ⁵ 

and boast along with the people who belong to you. ⁶ 

[27:13]  ¹ tn In the Hebrew text the sentence is incomplete: “If I had not believed [I would] see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” The words “Where would I be” are supplied in the translation to clarify the intent of the statement.

[49:19]  ² tn Verses 18-19a are one long sentence in the Hebrew text, which reads: “Though he blesses his soul in his life, [saying], ‘And let them praise you, for you do well for yourself,’ it [that is, his soul] will go to the generation of his fathers.” This has been divided into two sentences in the translation for clarity, in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences.

[49:19]  ³ tn Heb “light.” The words “of day” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[106:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “good.”

[106:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “in order that [I may] rejoice with the rejoicing of your nation.”

[106:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “with your inheritance.”
