Footnotes

  1. Psalm 16:7 tn Heb “bless,” that is, “proclaim as worthy of praise.”
  2. Psalm 16:7 tn Or “because.”
  3. Psalm 16:7 tn Or “counsels, advises.”
  4. Psalm 16:7 tn Heb “yes, [during] nights my kidneys instruct [or “correct”] me.” The “kidneys” are viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s moral character (see Ps 26:2). In the quiet darkness the Lord speaks to his inner being, as it were, and enables him to grow in moral understanding.
