Mazmur 68:19

68:19 The Lord deserves praise! ¹ 

Day after day ²  he carries our burden,

the God who delivers us. (Selah)

Mazmur 89:50

89:50 Take note, O Lord, ³  of the way your servants are taunted, ⁴ 

and of how I must bear so many insults from people! ⁵ 

[68:19]  ¹ tn Heb “blessed [be] the Lord.”

[68:19]  ² tn It is possible to take this phrase with what precedes (“The Lord deserves praise day after day”) rather than with what follows.

[89:50]  ³ tc Many medieval Hebrew mss read here יְהוָה (yehvah, “the Lord”).

[89:50]  ⁴ tn Heb “remember, O Lord, the taunt against your servants.” Many medieval Hebrew mss read the singular here, “your servant” (that is, the psalmist).

[89:50]  ⁵ tn Heb “my lifting up in my arms [or “against my chest”] all of the many, peoples.” The term רַבִּים (rabbim, “many”) makes no apparent sense here. For this reason some emend the text to רִבֵי (rivey, “attacks by”), a defectively written plural construct form of רִיב (riv, “dispute; quarrel”).
