  • The verb I will praise is cohortative, which means that the psalmist is expressing his desire and intention to praise YHWH.[1]
  1. Although אוֹדֶה, in terms of its morphology, could be either a yiqtol or a cohortative, its use in similar contexts alongside morphologically cohortative verbs suggests that it is a cohortative here as well (cf. Pss 7:18; 9:2–3; 54:8).
