v. 16a – The Syr ܘܢܚܘܘܢ ܕܬܪܝܨ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܫܝܢ … v. 16a – The Syr ܘܢܚܘܘܢ ܕܬܪܝܨ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܥܘܠܐ ("They will declare that the Lord is upright; he is strong, and there is no iniquity in him" Taylor 2020, 385) is best understood as a paraphrase in the case of both the finite ܘܢܚܘܘܢ for the MT's infinitive לְ֭הַגִּיד and the adj. ܘܢܚܘܘܢ for the appositive צ֝וּרִ֗י. (See also the REB's finite "They declare that the Lord is just," missing the semantic connection of purpose from the preceding clause.)</br></br>Other translations, such as the NJPS ("attesting that the LORD is upright," cf. the DHH, NIV, TOB) and Jerome's and Symmachus' participles (''adnuntiantes quia rectus Dominus''; ἀπαγγέλλοντες ὅτι ὀρθὸς κύριος) are also cautious with the more natural purpose reading (as the CEB's "in order to proclaim," cf. the CSB, ELB, ESV, KJV, NASB, RVA, SG21, ZÜR). The NET's result ("So they proclaim...") is also plausible. Nevertheless, in light of the לְהַגִיד inclusio with v. 3, we have preferred an impersonal reading of the infinitive (cf. Gen 33:10; Ps 42:4; 119:4; 2 Chr 35:16; see Notarius and Atkinson, forthcoming).</br></br>v. 16b – As for the ''qere''/''ketiv'' question (עלתה vocalized as עְָלֲתָה), the dozens of manuscripts cited in Kennicott (389) with the consonantal עולתה removes any doubt about the intended text.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000003-QINU`"'</br></br>Despite the temptation to read as a topic-comment structure with עַוְלָתָה as the subject ("injustice is not in him"), the presentational is preferred, explicitly followed by the Peshitta's use of ܠܝܬ and לית in the Peshitta (ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܥܘܠܐ; "there is no iniquity in him," Taylor 2020, 385) and Targum Psalms (לית עוולתא ביה; "there is no unrighteousness in him," Stec 2004, 177). Likewise, neither the LXX nor Jerome read ἀδικία or iniquitas as the subject: although presentational copular clauses and topic-comment constructions are morphosyntactically ambiguous in Greek and Latin, the post-verbal position in both instances here points to the presentational reading. For another existential with לֹֹא (in place of the expected אֵין), see Job 29:12 (וְֽלֹא־עֹזֵ֥ר לֽוֹ).אֵין), see Job 29:12 (וְֽלֹא־עֹזֵ֥ר לֽוֹ).
