The Key Word יְסַפֵּ֬ר, ye.sa.Pergenerated

The verb סָפַר (*safar*) means to recount or declare. It is a Piel form, indicating an active and intentional recounting of information. This word emphasizes the act of speaking out God's righteousness and salvation, highlighting the psalmist's role as a proclaimer of divine truth.

In this context, the psalmist's declaration is not just a casual mention; it represents a deep commitment to continuously share God's attributes. The imperfect tense suggests an ongoing action, indicating that the psalmist intends to keep declaring these truths throughout his life.

Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is יְסַפֵּ֬ר, it will recount, which governs the subject and objects that follow. The structure is straightforward, with the subject 'my mouth' and the objects being 'Your righteousness' and 'Your salvation' clearly laid out.

15. My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the tale thereof. Salvation is coupled with righteousness, because the one is the outcome and visible manifestation of the other. Cp. Psalms 71:2; Isaiah 45:21. There is a play in the Heb. on the words tell and tale. They are derived from the same root, which, like tell in old English, means both to count and to recount. God’s mercies are an inexhaustible theme. Cp. Psalms 40:5; Psalms 139:17-18.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text of Psalms 71:15 states, "My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure," with the Hebrew text reading: פִּ֤י׀ יְסַפֵּ֬ר צִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ כָּל־ הַיּ֥וֹם תְּשׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹ֖א יָדַ֣עְתִּי סְפֹרֽוֹת׃ The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in terms of the words used, as all ten words correspond directly, although the order and articles may differ. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide a differing text for this verse, thus supporting the reading found in the Masoretic Text.

da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:

(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see

Day

The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…

The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.
