Mazmur 13:5

13:5 But I ¹  trust in your faithfulness.

May I rejoice because of your deliverance! ² 

Mazmur 22:5

22:5 To you they cried out, and they were saved;

in you they trusted and they were not disappointed. ³ 

[13:5]  ¹ tn The grammatical construction used here (conjunction with independent pronoun) highlights the contrast between the psalmist’s defeated condition envisioned in v. 4 and confident attitude he displays in v. 5.

[13:5]  ² tn Heb “may my heart rejoice in your deliverance.” The verb form is jussive. Having expressed his trust in God’s faithful character and promises, the psalmist prays that his confidence will prove to be well-placed. “Heart” is used here of the seat of the emotions.

[22:5]  ³ tn Or “were not ashamed.”
