Psalms 16:7

7 I will praise ^{▼▼ Heb “bless,” that is, “proclaim as worthy of praise.”} the Lord who ^{▼▼ Or “because.”} guides ^{▼▼ Or “counsels, advises.”} me;
yes, during the night I reflect and learn. ^{▼▼ 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.}
