Mazmur 107:5

107:5 They were hungry and thirsty;

they fainted from exhaustion. ¹ 

Mazmur 107:9

107:9 For he has satisfied those who thirst, ² 

and those who hunger he has filled with food. ³ 

[107:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and their soul in them fainted.”

[107:9]  ² tn Heb “[the] longing throat.” The noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh), which frequently refers to one’s very being or soul, here probably refers to one’s parched “throat” (note the parallelism with נֶפֱשׁ רְעֵבָה, nefesh rÿ’evah, “hungry throat”).

[107:9]  ³ tn Heb “and [the] hungry throat he has filled [with] good.”
