Psalm 32/Notes/Phrasal.v. 7.679340
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
v. 7 – The construct chain רָנֵּ֥י פַלֵּ֑ט communicates an activity and its cause/reason: joyful shouts caused by deliverance. The construct dependent could also constitute the content of the shouts, i.e., shouts of "deliverance," in the sense "shouts of ' you have delivered '!"[1]
- ↑ Depending how the word רֹן is understood (see the lexical notes), the shouts could also be those of grief caused by a plea for deliverance or, as the content of the shouts pleading for deliverance, i.e., shouts of "deliverance," in the sense of הוֹשִׁ֘יעָ֥ה נָּ֑א Hosanna! (Ps 118:25). Both of these possibilities are unlikely, however, due to the assurances of protection in vv. 6b–7a.
