Mazmur 4:7

4:7 You make me happier ¹ 

than those who have abundant grain and wine. ² 

Mazmur 104:15

104:15 as well as wine that makes people feel so good, ³ 

and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, ⁴ 

as well as food that sustains people’s lives. ⁵ 

[4:7]  ¹ tn Heb “you place joy in my heart.” Another option is to understand the perfect verbal form as indicating certitude, “you will make me happier.”

[4:7]  ² tn Heb “from (i.e., more than) the time (when) their grain and their wine are abundant.”

[104:15]  ³ tn Heb “and wine [that] makes the heart of man happy.”

[104:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “to make [the] face shine from oil.” The Hebrew verb צָהַל (tsahal, “to shine”) occurs only here in the OT. It appears to be an alternate form of צָהַר (tsahar), a derivative from צָהָרִים (tsaharim, “noon”).

[104:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “and food [that] sustains the heart of man.”
