The Key Word — אֲבָרֶכְךָ, 'a.va.rekh.Khagenerated
The Hebrew word בָּרַךְ (*barak*) is a verb that means 'to bless' and is derived from a root meaning 'to kneel.' This word conveys the act of showing honor or praise, often in a posture of humility before God. The parsing indicates that it is a piel imperfect form, which emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action — the psalmist will continually bless God.
This word encompasses a range of meanings, from blessing God to invoking favor upon others. In this context, it reflects the psalmist's commitment to praise God throughout his life, indicating a relationship of gratitude and reverence.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses bless for the Hebrew word אֲבָרֶכְךָ.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb in the verse is אֲבָרֶכְךָ, I will bless You, which governs the structure. It is followed by a prepositional phrase בְחַיָּ֑י, as long as I live, and another prepositional phrase בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ, in Your name, leading into the verb אֶשָּׂ֥א, I will lift.
The structure emphasizes the psalmist's intention to bless God continuously, with the lifting of hands serving as a physical expression of that blessing.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew word אֲבָרֶכְךָ is translated as κρεῖσσον, which means 'better' or 'greater.' This choice suggests an interpretation that highlights the superiority of God's blessings over life itself.
The use of κρεῖσσον reflects a broader understanding of the psalmist's relationship with God, emphasizing the importance of divine favor and its impact on the believer's life.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Psalms 63:4 reads, "So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands," which emphasizes a commitment to praise God throughout life. The Septuagint has a similar sentiment, as five of the six words correspond closely to the Hebrew, although the word order and articles differ due to its Greek structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q83) contain fragments that do not preserve the full text of this verse, with some words partially restored and others entirely supplied by an editor, indicating a lack of complete agreement with the Masoretic Text.
כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי׃
5 of the 6 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
[כי] [טוב] [חסד׳כה] [מחיים] שפת׳י ישבחו׳נ׳כה

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
