Psalm 94:12

New English Translation

¹²How blessed is the one^[a] whom you instruct, O Lord,
the one whom you teach from your law,

Psalm 94:12 tn Heb “[Oh] the happiness [of] the man.” Hebrew wisdom literature often assumes and reflects the male-oriented perspective of ancient Israelite society. The principle of the psalm is certainly applicable to all people, regardless of their gender or age. To facilitate modern application, we translate the gender and age specific “man” with the more neutral “one.” The generic masculine pronoun is used in v. 2.

¹²Joyful are those you discipline, Lord,
those you teach with your instructions.

¹²Blessed is the one you discipline,^(A) Lord,
the one you teach^(B) from your law;
