Grammar Notes for this diagram

Note for v. 17

  • BHS proposes emending יָרוּמוּ to either יְרַנֵּנוּ ("they shout for joy;" cf. v. 13) or יָרוּמוּ קוֹלָם ("they raise their voices"). But there is no manuscript evidence for these emendations. The MT is clearly supported by all of the ancient witnesses (see Barthélemy 2005, 622-3), and it makes sense in the context. The clause either says that the people are/will be "exalted by your righteousness" (CSB, cf. KJV, CEV, NET, NJPS; so LXX, Targum, Jerome [iuxta Hebr.]) or that the people "celebrate your righteousness" (NIV, cf. NRSV, NLT; cf. Dahood 1966, 315).

Phrasal Notes for this diagram

Note for v. 17

  • For the bet prepositional phrase "because of your name" (בְּשִׁמְךָ), see note above on v. 13.
  • The bet preposition in the phrase וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ is similarly causal: "because of your righteousness" (Jenni 1992, rubric 1635). Cf. NJPS: "they are exalted through Your righteousness."
  • The adverbial phrase translated always (כָּל־הַיּוֹם) is, literally, "all day long" (NIV, ESV, GNT, NJPS), which is a figurative way of saying "always" (cf. EÜ, ZÜR: allezeit; see e.g., Ps 37:26).
