Psalms 52:9
9 I will continually ▼
▼tn Or, hyperbolically, “forever.”
thank you when ▼▼tn Or “for.”
you execute judgment; ▼▼tn Heb “you have acted.” The perfect verbal form (1) probably indicates a future perfect here. The psalmist promises to give thanks when the expected vindication has been accomplished. Other options include (2) a generalizing (“for you act”) or (3) rhetorical (“for you will act”) use.
I will rely on ▼
▼tn Or “wait on.”
you, ▼▼tn Heb “your name.” God’s “name” refers here to his reputation and revealed character.
for your loyal followers know you are good. ▼▼tn Heb “for it is good in front of your loyal followers.”
