Mazmur 72:13

72:13 He will take pity ¹  on the poor and needy;

the lives of the needy he will save.

Mazmur 116:13

116:13 I will celebrate my deliverance, ² 

and call on the name of the Lord.

[72:13]  ¹ tn The prefixed verb form is best understood as a defectively written imperfect (see Deut 7:16).

[116:13]  ² tn Heb “a cup of deliverance I will lift up.” Perhaps this alludes to a drink offering the psalmist will present as he thanks the Lord for his deliverance. See v. 17.
