Mazmur 32:7

32:7 You are my hiding place;

you protect me from distress.

You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance. ¹  (Selah)

Mazmur 48:11

48:11 Mount Zion rejoices;

the towns ²  of Judah are happy, ³ 

because of your acts of judgment. ⁴ 

[32:7]  ¹ tn Heb “[with] shouts of joy of deliverance you surround me.”

[48:11]  ² tn Heb “daughters.” The reference is to the cities of Judah surrounding Zion (see Ps 97:8 and H. Haag, TDOT 2:336).

[48:11]  ³ tn The prefixed verbal forms are understood as generalizing imperfects. (For other examples of an imperfect followed by causal לְמַעַן [lÿma’an], see Ps 23:3; Isa 49:7; 55:5.) Another option is to interpret the forms as jussives, “Let Mount Zion rejoice! Let the towns of Judah be happy!” (cf. NASB, NRSV; note the imperatives in vv. 12-13.)

[48:11]  ⁴ sn These acts of judgment are described in vv. 4-7.
