Mazmur 62:5

62:5 Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! ¹ 

For he is the one who gives me confidence. ² 

Mazmur 71:16

71:16 I will come and tell about ³  the mighty acts of the sovereign Lord.

I will proclaim your justice – yours alone.

[62:5]  ¹ tn Heb “only for God be silent, my soul.” The wording is similar to that of v. 1a. Here an imperatival form, דּוֹמִּי (dommiy, “be silent”), appears instead of the noun דּוּמִיָּה (dumiyyah, “silence”). The psalmist is encouraging himself to maintain his trust in God.

[62:5]  ² tn Heb “for from him [is] my hope.”

[71:16]  ³ tn Heb “I will come with.”
