Psalms 52:9
9 I will continually ▼▼ Or, hyperbolically, “forever.”
thank you when ▼▼ Or “for.”
you execute judgment; ▼▼ 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 ▼
▼ Or “wait.”
on you, ▼▼ Heb “your name.” God’s “name” refers here to his reputation and revealed character.
for your loyal followers know you are good. ▼▼ Heb “for it is good in front of your loyal followers.”
