Note for v. 21

In v. 21, which contains the second refrain and uses יבין/"understand" instead of ילין/"abide" (see note on v. 13 above), יבין/"understand" is preferred. As noted, the refrain here could be seen as offering a summary to the psalmist's overall teaching, which echoes wisdom discourses. Therefore, to have יבין/"understand" at this juncture is justifiable on contextual grounds. Again, the different locations of the two refrains in the psalm could explain two slightly different formulations.
