Psalm 69:34-36
New English Translation

34 Let the heavens and the earth praise him,
along with the seas and everything that swims in them.
35 For God will deliver Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah,
and his people[a] will again live in them and possess Zion.[b]
36 The descendants of his servants will inherit it,
and those who are loyal to him[c] will live in it.[d]

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 69:35 tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Psalm 69:35 tn Heb “it.” The third feminine singular pronominal suffix probably refers to “Zion” (see Pss 48:12; 102:14); thus the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. Psalm 69:36 tn Heb “the lovers of his name.” The phrase refers to those who are loyal to God (cf. v. 35). See Pss 5:11; 119:132; Isa 56:6.
  4. Psalm 69:36 sn Verses 35-36 appear to be an addition to the psalm from the time of the exile. The earlier lament reflects an individual’s situation, while these verses seem to reflect a communal application of it.
