‏ Psalms 130:3-4

3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of ^{▼▼tn Heb “observe.”} sins,
O Lord, who could stand before you? ^{▼▼tn The words “before you” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The psalmist must be referring to standing before God’s judgment seat. The rhetorical question expects the answer, “No one.”}
4 But ^{▼▼tn Or “surely.”} you are willing to forgive ^{▼▼tn Heb “for with you [there is] forgiveness.”}
so that you might ^{▼▼tn Or “consequently you are.”} be honored. ^{▼▼tn Heb “feared.”}
