Footnotes
- Psalm 34:2 tn Heb “my soul will boast”; or better, “let my soul boast.” Following the cohortative form in v. 1, it is likely that the prefixed verbal form here is jussive.
- Psalm 34:2 tn The two prefixed verbal forms in this verse are best taken as jussives, for the psalmist is calling his audience to worship (see v. 3).
- Psalm 34:3 tn Or “exalt.”
- Psalm 34:4 tn Heb “I sought the Lord.”
