Mazmur 47:6

47:6 Sing to God! Sing!

Sing to our king! Sing!

Mazmur 71:23

71:23 My lips will shout for joy! Yes, ¹  I will sing your praises!

I will praise you when you rescue me! ² 

Mazmur 106:2

106:2 Who can adequately recount the Lord’s mighty acts,

or relate all his praiseworthy deeds? ³ 

Mazmur 119:54

119:54 Your statutes have been my songs ⁴ 

in the house where I live. ⁵ 

[71:23]  ¹ tn Or “when.” The translation assumes that כִּי (ki) has an emphasizing (asseverative) function here.

[71:23]  ² tn Heb “and my life [or “soul”] which you will have redeemed.” The perfect verbal form functions here as a future perfect. The psalmist anticipates praising God, for God will have rescued him by that time.

[106:2]  ³ tn Heb “[or] cause to be heard all his praise.”

[119:54]  ⁴ tn Heb “songs were your statutes to me.”

[119:54]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the house of my dwelling place.” Some take the Hebrew noun מָגוֹר (magor) in the sense of “temporary abode,” and see this as a reference to the psalmist’s status as a resident alien (see v. 19). But the noun can refer to a dwelling place in general (see Ps 55:15).
