Mazmur 90:17

90:17 May our sovereign God extend his favor to us! ¹ 

Make our endeavors successful!

Yes, make them successful! ² 

Mazmur 149:4

149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;

he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. ³ 

[90:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and may the delight of the Master, our God, be on us.” The Hebrew term נֹעַם (no’am, “delight”) is used in Ps 27:4 of the Lord’s “beauty,” but here it seems to refer to his favor (see BDB 653 s.v.) or kindness (HALOT 706 s.v.).

[90:17]  ² tn Heb “and the work of our hands establish over us, and the work of our hands, establish it.”

[149:4]  ³ tn Heb “he honors the oppressed [with] deliverance.”
