Mazmur 122:4

122:4 The tribes go up ¹  there, ² 

the tribes of the Lord,

where it is required that Israel

give thanks to the name of the Lord. ³ 

Mazmur 141:8

141:8 Surely I am looking to you, ⁴  O sovereign Lord.

In you I take shelter.

Do not expose me to danger! ⁵ 

[122:4]  ¹ tn Or “went up.”

[122:4]  ² tn Heb “which is where the tribes go up.”

[122:4]  ³ tn Heb “[it is] a statute for Israel to give thanks to the name of the Lord.”

[141:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “my eyes [are] toward you.”

[141:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “do not lay bare my life.” Only here is the Piel form of the verb collocated with the term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “life”). In Isa 53:12 the Lord’s servant “lays bare (the Hiphil form of the verb is used) his life to death.”
